Alex Hopkins struck a fine 21 including a superb six and Haydn Garnett held together the lower order with some great straight hitting for his 15 but a total of 74 never looked to be enough.
Congs openers raced away to a good start off the first five overs and despite tight bowling from Mark Hodgson and Alex Hopkins eased past the Saints total with overs and eight wickets in hand.
