Round 9 - Saints outright victors

The rain held off this afternoon at Parc Champêtre in Montreal with only a brief shower before the game. When the centre bounce got underway the Saints were very quick to put a quick goal on the scoreboard. Tim Nixon got the first from an excellent display of ruck work by Tom Delaney, who came down from Ottawa to play along with three of his team mates. In what was a close battle, both teams managed to get a couple on the board with Kelvin Thursby adding another one for the Saints then the Bombers came back with two goals from Robert Gordon and Lachlan Trumble. The scores at quarter time were very close with the Saints only up by 4 points 2.7-19 to 2.3-15.

The second quarter got under way with Delaney winning the majority of the hit outs and the Saints continued to clear the centre extremely quickly. The Saints displayed accurate ball work in the centre seeing them put five goals on the scoreboard by half time. The Bombers managed one for the quarter. The half-time scores were 7.12-53 to 3.5-23.

The Saints continued to shine throughout the 3rd quarter kicking four goals against the Bombers display of two. With the continuing dominance in the centre the Saints were able to kick into their forward-line successfully.

In the fourth quarter the Saints ran home with an outright victory. An excellent display of team work by Saints first gamers Nathan Jacobs and Vivien Didelot throughout the forth helped further put the Saints out in front to bring home the victory.

Final score: Saints 16.18-114 to Bombers 6.9-45.

Round 8 - Saints win by 14 points

Another great game was played last Saturday afternoon in Montreal for Round 8. Six players from the Ottawa Swans came to assist with numbers due to a large contingent of Quebec Saints players involved in the International Cup in Australia.

Showing speed and agility the Saints' Ronan Shaughnessy (an ex-Saints player from Ireland) assisted the Saints in the centre kicking one of the three goals in the first quarter. Luke Walsh also added one to the scoreboard by the end of quarter time for the Bombers.

In the second the Bombers got off to a great start with some excellent ruck work by Paul Fairbrother and centre work by Ryan Oxley and Chris 'Rock' Peck who added one each for the Bombers. Some inaccurate kicking could have seen the score higher but they managed to get in front bringing the score at half time with the Bombers up by 9 points 3-9-27 to 3-1-19 and leaving the Saints scoreless in the second quarter.

In the 3rd quarter otherwise known as the 'premiership quarter' the Saints made a comeback. Kelvin Thursby and Jay Goldhawk (his second for the game) put two on the board by. With the Bombers only managing one in the 3rd quarter the game was extremely close with the scores almost tied at 5-4-34 to 4-9-33.

In the final quarter, some notable on-ground performances by Thursby and Shaughnessy assisted the Saints forward-line to rack up another 3 goals bringing the Saints to a very close victory by 14 points.

Final score: Saints 8.8-56 to Bombers 5.12-42.

Saints - J. Archer 2, R. Shaughnessy 2, J. Goldhawk 2, K. Thursby 1, T. Nixon 1. Bombers - L. Walsh 2, B. Birt 1, C. Peck 1, R. Oxley 1
