It was deja vu for the Saints Reserves who finished on top of the ladder at the end of the season but were not able to take home the the ultimate prize.
In a closely fought battle the Saints managed to stay just in front during the first half of the game. Bruce Alp had a brilliant game on the back line along with Rick Johnson.
In the 3rd quarter the lead seesawed and at the change the Saints were 2 points behind.
In the last quarter Port had only 1 scoring shot-a goal, while the Saints had 3- all points. The opportunities were there but it was just not to be. For the second year in a row the Saints went down by less than a goal to Port.
Final score Port Macquarie Magpies 5.5.35 defeated Sawtell Saints 4.6.30
