Review
St Mirren battled well in the first half and it took to just before the interval before the first goal came from the the unlikely source of right back Jim Craig.
In the second half John Hughes added a second not long after the restart and debut man Harry Hood added a third to make it safe.
Callaghan replaced Hughes 15 minutes from the end
At the end of March going into the end of season month the table looked like this. at the bottom of the table it was a battle between Falkirk and Raith Rovers with Arbroath pretty much set to go down
