Winters came close in the first half after a slick passing move between Higgins and Adam Strachan, but Liam Craig made a saving challenge as he was about to shoot.
Winters did score after 53 minutes, hooking in Richie Hart's cross despite the best efforts of Stuart McCaffrey on the goal-line.
County doubled the lead with Sean Higgins latching on to a high up and under from Scott Boyd and pulling clear of the defence to sweep home number two from 10 yards.
Saints sub Collin Samuel pulled one back on 84 minutes as the County defence switched off, but it turned out to be too little too late for the holders.
