Saints have climbed off the bottom of the Zurich premiership with a fantastic home win 26-11 in the East Midlands derby. Tries from Drahm, Rudd and Cohen and a defensive shut out in the second half sealed the win. Tries from Shane Drahm, John Rudd and Ben Cohen sealed an awesome win for the Saints againts their nearest and dearest rivals Leicester Tigers by 26 points to 11. 21-3 up at one point the Saints were wobbling as Tigers fought their way back to 21-11 at half time. However in a typically abrasive East Midlands derby where Neil Back, Simon Emms and Martin Johnson were all sin-binned the saints held on through sheer will power to send the Tigers home tails firmly between their legs. A fuller report will follow from someone in the ground, no-doubt after they've sobered up from celebrating such a vital victory.

The most important game of the season has been won.

Come on you Saints
