SAINTS STORM INTO FIRST GRAND FINAL

The Quebec Saints delivered a statement in week 1 of the OAFL DIVISION 2 FINALS series with an emphatic 103 point demolition of the Central Blues. 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 Saints dominated in every position. 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. The Saints will now enjoy the week off and wait to see who out of the Hawks and Roos will be there Grand Final opponent.
