Saints remain winless halfway through 2024 season

Benalla managed to score double the amount of goals than it did in the first term with 13 but was unable to catch a rolling Swans who led by 19 at the half.

The gap only widened between the two, with the Swans piling on 19 goals to the Saints’ 11, the 27-point disparity virtually unsalvageable heading into the final frame.

Unfortunately, things did not improve for the Saints who were defeated by 34 goals, 42-76.

Ella Sheehan and Chloe Elliott combined for 29 goals, and Natalie Pritchard chipped in with a handy 13 goals.

Benalla will have its best chance to get a win on the board when it faces 11th-placed Kyabram, who has also not won a game through nine rounds.

The Saints will have to win in Kyabram to claim their first victory, with the game being a high-stakes affair for both sides.
