METRO FOOTY THIS SUNDAY IN LAVAL

Round 4 of the ECAFL "METRO" Footy will take this Sunday from 1pm at Parc Cluny in Laval. (Short walk from Metro De La Concorde). The Power will be looking for redemption this round while the Bombers are quietly confident they can thrust themselves back into contention for first place. All the answers will come Sunday. This round will also mark the end of Sam 'Des' Heath's footy career in Quebec. Sam and his family and heading off to Adelaide to soak up some Australian sun. It was almost three years ago now that Luke Anderson first floated the idea of an Aussie Rules team in Quebec. That idea started to become a reality when the first recruit - Sam Heath - signed up to play. Runner-Up in the 2008 Best and Fairest, Sam missed the entire 2009 season due to knee surgery. He returned in 2010 to the ECAFL and has been in career best form dominating the backline for the Saints. Sam's better half Steph Decelles has also been busy writing and publishing her first childrens book "Le reveil du dragon chinois". A perfect gift for the kids (or even for Aussies learning French!)

Get to the game Sunday to cheer on or play!!!

SAINTS BACK ON TOP WITH HUGE WIN

Find the official Match Report HERE
It was the 2nd placed Saints versus the 3rd placed Rebel Dogs this afternoon in Toronto but that didn't stop the Quebec side from crushing their opposition 13.10 (88) to 0.0 (0) and storming to the top of the OAFL Division 2 ladder. The Saints new look backline was sensational suffocating the Rebel Dogs, Ed Duff on fire across half back. Haverhoek, Stark and Wood were once again dominant in the midfield.

The Montreal Angels survived a downpour and some questionable opposition tactics to carve out another win over their Toronto rivals. The Legault sisters once again in dominant form ran riot, clearly a class above their opponents. Mimi and Roasty's efforts down back sensational while Uche and Dani worked hard up forward and rookie Kathrine impressed on debut. Angels 6.3 (39) defeated the Bluettes 1.1 (7).

SAINTS AND ANGELS HEAD TO TORONTO FOR HUGE DAY OF FOOTY

The Quebec Saints head down the 401 to take on the Toronto Rebel Dogs this Saturday and the Montreal Angels Women's team will also be making the journey to take on the Toronto Central Bluettes. Furthermore there will be Saints in action in the Division 1 matches Swans v Dingos and Rebels v Roos.

SAINTS USE DEVINE INTERVENTION TO EXORCISE THE BOSTON DEMONS

The Quebec Saints travelled down to Boston last Saturday to take on the Boston Demons 'A' squad in a weekend of footy that would also showcase a Boston v Nashville main event. Ex-Saint and 2009 Premiership player PJ Devine now living in Boston and playing for the Demons pulled on his Saints jersey for the match. In sweltering conditions the Saints kicked a club record 9 goals to zero in the opening term setting themselves up for a massive win. Darrin Haverhoek, Mick Lacy and Aimee Legault leading the charge in the midfield. An injury to Aimee Legault in the second half saw the Saints playing a man down with no interchange, the Demons enjoying the luxury of a 10 man bench. The Saints however continued their demolition job running away 127 point victors, Haverhoek finishing with 6 goals. Full match report coming soon

QUEBEC SAINTS HEAD TO BOSTON

With a break in the OAFL and ECAFL schedules the Quebec Saints are heading south to particpate in a weekend of footy in Boston. Along with the Boston Demons the Nashville Kangaroos will be on show. Former Quebec Saints Patrick 'PJ' Devine, part of the Saints 2009 OAFL Division 2 premiership team is now settled in Boston and has taken up arms with the Demons squad.

HAWKS FORFEIT SATURDAYS MATCH

In a shock move, The Broadview Hawks due to a mounting injury toll have forfeited Saturday's match against the Quebec Saints in Ottawa. The Grand Final replay between the two teams will have to wait now until the Saints travel across to Toronto later in the year.

The "Call to Arms" charity match therefore has been moved to the August 1st ECAFL Round 4 clash.

MONTREAL SAINTS IN CONTROL OF ECAFL

At the half-way point of the ECAFL season the Montreal Saints have stamped their authority on the league becoming the first team to take maximum points away from a double-header round, on the way thrashing the Power by 49 points. The Power kept in touch for three quarters but in heatwave conditions wilted in the last term being outscored 7 to 28. In a sad changing of the guard the Bombers forfeited their match, loss of key personal and injuries have left the once dominant team languishing in last place.

International Saints making waves

The Quebec Saints are the most eastern located Aussie rules football club in Canada, based out of Montreal. And while they fight for recognition from their own governing body it seems the rest of the world is already taking notice of the football talent that is being churned out by the belle province. The club in its short existence has 8 international representatives, 7 of which would never have been uncovered had it not been for the team located in the French speaking province. What is impressive still is that only three of the players represent Canada, a spotlight on the unique cosmopolitan city that is Montreal. Cam Stark, Margo Legault and Aimee Legault all have the proud honour of wearing the maple leaf for Canada. Across the atlantic ocean the Saints two beloved Irishman, Declan Coyne and Ronan Shaughnessy have both been included into their national teams squad. The Irish incidentally are a higher ranked team than Canada, defeating the Northwind in 2008 to advance to the final four. Furthermore, as football continues to grow world wide, Quebec's unique French connection has come to the forefront with the Saints and the French national team joining forces in an effort to get France into the 2011 IC. Three players, James-Robert Theis, Greg Bretiere and Renaud Carbonnel have been included into the French team while Saints head coach Luke Anderson has been added to the new team in an assistant coach role. France has already officially nominated itself as one of the 21 nations intending on participating at the 2011 International Cup. Fingers crossed we have Canada, Ireland and France all grouped together in Melbourne 2011!!!
