Nyora scored its fifth win of the season with victory over Lang Lang, 13-9 (87) to 10-9 (69).

An improved Saints outfit have been successful in winning against the sides at the lower end of the ladder, and Saturday was no different with the Saints holding on in a match that ebbed and flowed.

The Saints kicked three goals to one in the first term to open up a 15-point lead, but the Tigers clawed their way back in an entertaini­ng quarter where they kicked six goals to five.

The Saints kept the Tigers to just two behinds in the third term while kicking four goals themselves to open up a handy lead heading into the final change.

The Tigers finished strongest, kicking three goals to one but the lead was ultimately too much to chase.

Jesse Heylen kicked three goals for the Saints, with Nick Carrigy, Jordan Anderson, Troy McPherson, Dylan Heylen and Aiden Cumberland also prominent.
