TRUMBLE ACCEPTS ONE WEEK BAN

Lachy Trumble pleaded guilty last night to a head high hit on Saints star forward Mat Wilson and accepted a one week ban which was downgraded due to the early plea as well as good behaviour. The down graded charge will enable the Power star to play in the ECAFL Grand Final. An update on the state of the welfare of Mat Wilson was not encouraging however. Initial fears of a irreparable damage were confirmed when Wilson, in a delusional state was ranting about a Magpies flag in 2010. Wilson is expected to make a full recovery in time for the Preliminary final against the Laval Bombers.

POINTE CLAIRE POWER STAR TRUMBLE SWEATS ON TRIAL BY VIDEO CHARGE

The Power's star player Lachy Trumble has been cited on video for charging from the weekends crucial match against the Saints. The Power have already booked their spot in the Grand Final so any suspension would see the talented midfielder sidelined and the Power's chances of becoming premiers plummet. The tribunal will meet at the Quebecoise on Wednesday at 8:30pm to hand down their verdict.

SAINTS FINISH TOP IN OAFL DIVISION 2

The Quebec Saints rolled into Ottawa to take on the bottom of the table Roos, a win ensuring first place outright for the regular season. After recruiting some extra's for the Roos the Saints also requested the team use 'alternate' jumpers to avoid a clash of colours. Fitted out in retro jerseys the Roos and Saints battle got underway. The Saints dominating play for the entire game and enjoying 8 different goal scorers eventually ran out 67 point victors, 10.9 (69) to the Roos 0.2 (2).

SMOOTH SAINTS CLIP HAWKS WINGS

The Quebec Saints kept their cool in Toronto and made in five wins in a row recovering from a sluggish first quarter to finally defeat the Broadview Hawks by 57 points. The Saints got off to a flying start but the experienced Hawks side kept pace trailing by only 3 points at quarter time. After an incident that saw a Hawks player yellow carded the Saints through Cam Stark, Mat Wilson and Tim Nixon made Broadview pay dearly on the scoreboard. The Quebec team slamming on 4 goals to zero in the second, the Hawks losing another player to a yellow card before the half was out. Seven goals to three after half time saw the Saints home comfortably. Mat Wilson outstanding up forward with four goals while Tim Nixon put on a clinic along half forward finishing with two goals himself.

TRAINING WEDNESDAY PARC JARRY

Training will be held at Parc Jarry, Montreal at 6PM this Wednesday. New players are always welcome and training is always free. You can locate us by our strange accents and bizarre ball kicking skills near the basketball courts and hockey rink at Parc Jarry. If driving use the rue Harry Ouest car park we train only 50 metres from it. Metro Jarry is a 5-10 minutes walk away.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! to Margo and Aimee Leagault who represented Canada on the weekend against the United States. Both girls performed supremely well and helped Canada defeat the U.S twice to claim the 49th Parallel Cup. The Canadian men didn't fair as well losing to the States in the closing stages of the match. Two other Saints, Ronan 'Big Guns' Shaughnessy and Chris 'Classy Coors Light' Lagace pulled on the boots for the OAFL Awfuls against the Boston Demons. The Demons emerged victorious but both players were once again amongst the best.

SAINTS GET OVER RUN IN SECOND HALF AS BOMBERS BOUNCE BACK

Round 4 was the ECAFL's "Call to Arms" charity match to raise money for Men's cancer research. As in the AFL it was the Bombers taking on the Saints in a pivotal match. The game saw a host of fresh faces added to the line-ups and after a tough first term it was the ladder leading Saints who had skipped away to an 11 point lead on the back of two goals to Sam Heath. The Bombers readjusted the match-ups for the second term and began the task of working their way back into the match. Bomber Daniel Barker began to look dangerous up forward and a 5 goal to 1 term had the Bombers back in front by 15 points at the main break. The second half was all downhill for the Saints as the Bombers midfield stepped up. Darrin Haverhoek, Daniel Barker and Nico Pouessel working well and being well supported by Lachy through the corridor. An injury to Saints ruckman Matt Wood further exposed the team as the Bombers piled on 16 goals to 3 in the second half crushing the ladder leading team to the tune of 96 points. Bombers 23.8 (146) defeated Saints 8.2 (50). Goals - Bombers: D.Barker 7, D.Haverhoek 6, N.Pouessel 4, L.Trumble 2, G.Bretiere 2, Guilliame 2. Saints - M.Wilson 3, D.Wilson 2, S.Heath 2, M.Wood 1. On behalf of the club we would like to thank Sam Heath who played his last match, and also to Dani Anderson who raised over $800 for the Call to Arms charity.
