In a time-honoured Aussie Rules tradition the premiership pennant will be unfurled before the Saints seniors’ game against Gosford Tigers as Maitland looks for back-to-back wins to open their first season in the Black Diamond Cup competition.
Maitland beat Singleton by 25 points in last year’s Black Diamond Plate grand final.
The Saints senior team is playing in the top flight this season and Maitland is also fielding teams in the BDAFL Women’s and Black Diamond Plate competitions.
Play starts on Saturday with the reserves at 10am, women at noon and seniors at 2pm.
