SAINTS' boss Mike Davies was delighted with the three points won at Llanelli and dismissed early season criticism of his side's performance.
"It's too early for any critics to be having a go, it's a difficult league and it was a great win today," he said.
"Just lets' hope we can build on it and get a run going."
The game's decisive moment arrived five minutes after the break when Kiwi international Greg Draper drove the ball home from 12 yards out and Davies added: "It was a great finish by Greg, although he didn't have a great game by his standards, but what a finish and credit to him.
"I think right through the units - defence, midfield and attack - collectively and particularly in the second half it was a great performance."
Greg Draper's 50th-minute strike - his first Welsh Premier goal - proved decisive, but Llanelli chief Andy Legg was disappointed.
"It's the same again as last week, missed chances," he said.
"I thought we were the better team today actually but, if you don't score goals, you don't win games and that's proved the point today.
"At the moment we are struggling to defend set plays which is really frustrating - two goals from two corners in the last two games."
