DRAMATIC WIN FOR B SIDE HIGHLIGHTS VALUE OF YOUTH LEAGUE Saints manager hails new format as 'massive boost' for player development

- TAYLOR MURRAY

Stephen Robinson has praised the SFA for being adventurous and implementing a new-look Under-19s League and revamping a tournament.

St Mirren's stars of tomorrow are taking part in the KDM Evolution Trophy and clinched their first victory in the competition on Tuesday night.

Jamaican winger Jalmaro Calvin grabbed the winner during a dramatic injury-time period to seal a 3-2 triumph at League One leaders Alloa Athletic.

Goals from Evan Mooney and Fraser Taylor put the Buddies in a commanding position at the Indodrill Stadium.

However, Alloa scored in each of the first two minutes of time added on through Lewis Bruin and Luke Rankin to make it 2-2.

Summer signing Calvin would have the final word, though, as Saints B bounced back from a loss to League Two Dumbarton earlier this month.

Matches against Annan Athletic, Hamilton Accies, Kelty Hearts and Stranraer lie ahead.
