In what was a big night for the code in the region, the Saints made little work of the Moree Suns to record a 30.27.207 to 0.3.3 win.
Led by Dallas Baldwin with 8 goals and Michael Gould with 6, the Saints were never in danger from the outset as the home side booted nine unanswered goals to set up a 54 point lead at the first break. The trend continued for the remaining three quarters keeping the visitors scoreless for the game, a feat the Saints have never achieved before.
Beau Coles continued his stellar season providing run from the backline and assisting captain Sam Kimmince hold up the backline.
Michael Schneider will be one player to keep an eye on in coming weeks as he gets more games time. His skill and speed around the ground will prove vital against the likes of the Nomads and the Kangaroos.
The Saints will now prepare for the roadtrip to Narrabri this Saturday and their clash against the Eagles at Leitch Oval, a ground that has been a bogey field for the Saints.
Earlier in the the day, the Saints Juniors overcame a fast finishing Suns to win 17.13.115 to 9.10.64 while the Moree side turned the tables on the Saints in the Ladies game winning 5.2.32 to 3.1.19.
Lindsey Turner proving she has a better boot on her than her partner Lachie McDonald after booting a 60 metre goal in the third term.
