The second half started with a flurry as Tim Irwin would score 2 quick goals in the first 5 minutes to give the Cannoneers a quick 2 goal lead.  The Saints would battle back and tie the score at 4-4 in the next 5 minutes only to see Irwin score 2 more quick goals to give the Cannoneers a lead they would not relinquish the rest of the game.  Patrick Rosato would continue his consecutive game goal scoring streak to 3 games, scoring a goal that would ice the game for the Cannoneers.  Dylan Terry would close out the scoring sheet with a nice goal with 9 minutes left in the game.  Assisting on goals for the Cannoneers were Edward Goodall with 2, Luke Theodore, Ian Collins and Patrick Rosato, all with 1 assist.
