🏉 MATCH RECAP | ROUND RESULTS 🏉

What a massive day of footy for the Saints! We were pumped to host our Saints and Sinners Past Players Day, and it was fantastic to see such a great turnout of old boys coming down to show their support.

MEN’S PLATE vs. Port Stephens
Saints 10.19 (79) def. Port Stephens 5.1 (31)

The Ressies came out on fire in the first quarter, playing a fast, running brand of footy that left the opposition flat-footed. Stacking 7 goals on the board against a strong wind, the boys kept the pressure on for all four quarters to secure a convincing 42-point win! Undoubtedly one of our best games of the year.

A massive thanks to the U16 and U18 boys who stepped up and delivered magnificent performances—including Harry Kane, who made his Seniors debut! The future of the Saints is looking bright. Happy coach, happy club. BG 👏
