THEIR star man might have been absent, but St Pierre did not miss him last night at Port Soif.

Even without GH Smit, a youthful Saints outfit cruised to victory over Optimists on a fine spring evening to get their anticipated Lancaster Trustees Evening League Division One title challenge off to the ideal start.

Despite fielding an XI whose average age barely crept above 20, there was enough experience in Tom Kimber's side to get the job done without too much bother, with the skipper himself ensuring his side suffered no butterflies in chasing a modest 16-over total of 102.

Generally St Pierre kept things tight with island spinner Max Ellis bowling a particularly economical spell that went at just four-and-a-half an over.
