Smith headed in the opener in the first half but Chris Kane brought the Saintees level after Rowan Vine's shot had been saved by Grant Adam.
The winner arrived just before the break, Smith seeing a penalty saved by Jonny Tuffey before the officials decided the goalie had moved too soon and Brady scored the re-take.
