Saints started the decade as founder members of Division 3. Saints finished second and the formation of the regional divisions meant that the following year would be spent in Division 3 (South). Saints finished top and moved into the second division.
After a symmetric first season, Saints narrowly missed out on promotion. Jimmy McIntyre's resignation in December 1924 saw Saints slowly slide down the table despite two cup semi finals in 24/25 and 26/27
Saints players were constantly being sold although the club did buy the Dell in 1926, from the land owner George Thomas, for £25,000.
Manager, Arthur Chadwick, took the team to 4th in 28/29 but the team had yet to really settle.
