Saints opened their pre-season campaign with a 1-1 draw at Eastleigh.
Mark Wotte's men took the lead against their Blue Square South hosts at The Silverlake Stadium on the hour mark through a clinical Matt Paterson strike.
But Saints were pegged back by Ian Baird's side on the stroke of full-time when winger Tony Taggart squeezed an effort past substitute keeper Tommy Forecast to earn Eastleigh a deserved draw.
