The Saints were 14-point losers to last year’s grand final opponent Singleton after jumping to a 20-point quarter-time lead courtesy of a four-goal opening.
Maitland’s lead was cut to 12 by half-time and a third-quarter fade saw them outscored five goals to one and the game was over.
The Saints have played good football in patches but coach David Ross will be looking for consistency if the team is to push for the flag.
Ben Stewart. Pat McMahon and Aiden Damico each bagged two goals.
Sarah Burns kicked three goals and was the Saints best in a 12.9-81 to 4.2-26 win in the GE Women’s BDAFL.
The Saints reserves had a 41-point win with Joshua Riches kicking four goals and Lee Nevin three.
Saturday kicks off at Max McMahon Oval from 10am with the women’s followed by the seniors at noon.
