In a rematch of last year’s first semi-final, the Eagles controlled the game from the opening bounce, leading by 45 points at half time.
The Kangas have matched their efforts of 12 months ago, remaining undefeated in the first three weeks of the season thanks to a 47-point win against Tooleybuc/Manangatang.
In what was the club’s first win against the Saints since 2013, Harrison Keely (five goals) and coach, Scott Beattie (four goals) led the way in the victors’ forward line, with a five-goal to one third term securing the win.
