4.7-31.<\/p>\n<p>Saints&#8217; players shared the goal-kicking glory: Craig Paterson (3), Fletcher Brown (2), Jack Mines (2), Bennett Sharpe, Corey Smith, Jake Larsen, James Packer, Keegan Wright, Kelly Salmon, Nathan Trace and Ryan Jacobs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Earlier in the day, the Saints&#8217; U13.5 juniors also recorded a big win over Goondwindi: 25.13-163 to 2.2-14.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Saints&#8217; goals were kicked by Ezra Salmon (5), William Dickfos (4), Evan Freeman (4), Hayden McCrea (3), Finlay Chapman (3), Roman Rose, Max Curtis, Jack Lynch, Deegan
