St Mirren ended their week-long pre-season training camp in Belfast with an emphatic victory against Northern Irish champions Linfield.
The Buddies used the match as preparation for their opening competitive fixture in the Premier Sports Cup against Dumbarton this Saturday.
Saints raced into a 1-0 lead when Eamonn Brophy clinically headed home from a cross after just five minutes.
Linfield, who have since flown out to Lithuania for their crunch Champions League qualifier, had the perfect opportunity to level from the spot after a handball.
Former Motherwell striker Christy Manzinga's effort was saved superbly onto the post by St Mirren's number one Jak Alnwick.
As the game approached the half-hour mark Brophy grabbed his second with a neat finish from a corner.
Jim Goodwin changed his entire team at half-time to ensure every player got a full half of action, with Lee Erwin putting the gloss on the scoreline with a close-range goal on the 65 minute mark.
Recent additions Curtis Main, Charles Dunne, Greg Kiltie, Scott Tanser and Alan Power all featured for the first time alongside their new teammates.
The Saints are set to face Ayr United tomorrow in another behind-closed-doors pre-season friendly, ahead of their clash with the Sons on Saturday.
