TRENTHAM (34) def by LEXTON (45)
Lexton have bounced back following their loss to Carisbrook last week, defeating Trentham to ensure they moved back to within a game of the top four.
The Tigers utilised a strong middle two quarters to pull away from the Saints, before Trentham gained some respectability on the scoreboard with a final quarter run.
It was an even start, with Lexton assuming the quarter time lead thanks to 14 goals, while holding Trentham to 10.
But a second quarter run saw them take a commanding lead going into the main break, scoring 15 goals while the Saints could only muster four in response.
The Tigers were unrelenting in the third quarter, scoring another 13 goals, while Trentham managed six, ensuring Lexton turned for home up by 22 goals.
While Trentham made a final quarter run, scoring 14 goals and holding Lexton to just three, the damage was well and truly done.
Leesa Donhardt scored 22 goals for the victorious Tigers, with Rachel Phelan adding 16, while Sharna Ford led the way for Trentham with 21 goals.
