Splitting the regular season honours at one game a piece, the Blues went into the match knowing they had the Saints measure on Quebec's previous road trip to Toronto. This time however the Saints would get a fair shot at the legitimate Blues Division 2 squad and in doing so proved that the last round match up that saw the Saints run away 71 point victors was no fluke.

The midfield combination of Matthew Wood, Ben Vawser, Greg Bretiere and Cam Stark winning every single centre clearance giving forward Shane Blight a field day and a club Division 2 record 8 goals. The only bad news for the Saints was the injury to star ruckman Matthew Wood early in the second half.

Saints put up galant fight in Ottawa slog

In appalling conditions today the Saints challenged the Swans for three and a half quarters before eventually falling by 33 points. In a 'friendly' match-up between associate Div1 and Div2 clubs the Saints welcomed 6 High Park Demons and 4 Montreal Angels into their team, the Saints first ever hit out against their partner club.
With constant rain making playing conditions extremely tough the Swans started the better of the two clubs, adapting to the conditions well and although the Saints had more of the ball the Swans were impressive in the execution in the wet kicking 5.2 to the Saints 0.3, the Saints unlucky to have a goal denied by a dubious umpiring decision.
After some direction from coach Shane Blight and assistant Declan Coyne the Saints came out on fire in the second, completely dominating possesion. Carl Ferreri, Chris Lagace and Aimee Legault all running rings around their opponents. Unfortunately for the Saints they couldn't capitalize on the scoreboard kicking 2.5 to the Swans 1.0 to trail by 18 at the half. Tempers rose as the Saints refused to give in, the match marred by some ugly incidents as both teams threw everything into the contest. Some Swans greatful that there will be no video review on one particular incident. Again woeful kicking in front of goal wasted the Saints fantastic work, at three quarter time the Saints 2.12 trailed the accurate Swans 8.2.
With two tired teams playing in the most difficult of conditions the Saints did their best to work themselves back into the game but a goal midway through the last sealed the match for the Swans. The Saints although having more possesion and inside 50's wasted their opportunities and finally went down
Ottawa Swans 9.5 (59) defeated
Quebec Saints 2.14 (26)

The Angels didn't know what to expect but showed they were more than ready exploding out of the blocks and completely dominating play.

Uche magic gives Angels edge over sharp Shamrocks outfit while Saints give Bombers a lesson in the Montreal sun

In the first game of the day the Montreal Angels kicked 3 goals to 1 in the last quarter to steal the win from the Montreal Shamrocks in the second round of ECAFL women's footy. The Shamrocks led all day served well by a brilliant 6 goals by unstoppable Trish up forward, Andrea and Mel causing problems for the Angels all day in the midfield. For the Angels Aimee was at her usual best well supported by Lindsay who was a force through the middle. Mimi was keeping the half-back in check but it was a fantastic 4 goals to Uche that proved the difference, the Angels falling across the line by a single point.
Montreal Angels 8.8 (56) defeated Montreal Shamrocks 9.1 (55)

The Montreal Saints showed last rounds win was no fluke belting the Bombers in tough conditions today. Set up by a 7 goal to zero first half the Saints showed they were prepared to run and outplayed the Bombers in every position on the ground.

For the Bombers it's the second loss without the guidance of coach Shane Blight, it is also the second match star back man Declan Coyne has been absent due to his injury.

The scene is now set for the final round, the Saints are only one win behind in the standings but will be required to make up a huge amount in percentage to steal top spot. After today though, anything is possible.

Saints players add fire power to Swans line-up while one led the Rebels cause

Three Quebec Saints players lined up in Swans colours last weekend and although Ottawa didn't come away with the four points the boys from Montreal proved they're good enough to mix it with the best.
Mick Lacy lined up in the forward line and after a goaless first quarter by the Swans, Mick stepped up a gear in the 2nd and led the Swans charge back into the game. The Swans slammed on 3 goals in the 2nd quarter, 2 of those off the boot of Lacy who easily beat his opponent and was proving a headache for the Rebels down forward.

Not to be outdone, Shane Blight started on the Half Back line and had a dominant first half, Picking up countless possesions Shane was easily amongst the best players. His complete dominance helping keep the Swans within 6 points of the Rebels at half time. The Swans coach made a key move at half-time switching Shane into the midfield to capatilize on his stellar performance. Unfortunately Shane was injured in the third quarter, not surprisingly the Swans chances of a win vanished as Shane left the field and with the lack of ball coming into the forward line Mick Lacy was helpless up front to stop the landslide, the Swans on the end of a 55 point hiding.

The Rebels dominant win was helped along the way by Saints player Cam Stark, running rampant through the midfield Cam broke free in the second half and was one of the main reasons for the 2nd half onslaught slotting through several goals of his own.

Coach's Box - ECAFL Round 1 Wrap-Up

Well done to everyone who played on the weekend in perfect conditions for Australian rules football. Both teams played a high level of skill considering the level of knowledge of the game.

The start of round one was very fast out of the blocks with the Saints being able to lead at quarter time against a strong 4-5 goal wind.

Some very hard work from Alex, Gab and Ronan saved many goals that the Bombers should have kicked. Again the likes of Cam and James in the ruck was causing issues with the Saints defence. The two were able to gain most wins from the middle. Even if the Saints ruckman was winning the taps Cam managed to read the ball perfectly in the first.

Solidly new recruit David Krief was performing well in forward for the Bombers giving them some strong leads with the wind. For the Saints the power house of Vinny and new comer Nick Switzer caused grief as they created many goals.
