THE Coffs Harbour Breakers and Grafton Tigers have both continued their unbeaten starts to the season with wins in the latest round of the AFL North Coast season.

Both the Breakers and Tigers senior men’s teams won their third match in a row to start the season.

The Breakers maintained top spot on the ladder with a 20-point win against the Northern Beaches Blues in Woolgoolga.

The Tigers remained in second spot with a 4 point-win against the Port Macquarie Magpies at Nana Glen.

Breakers coach Ben Watson said conditions for his side’s match were tough after the recent wet weather.

“The field was just a mud slosh pit, and it was a war,” he said.

The Coffs Harbour Breakers women won their third match in a row to start the season by the skin of their teeth, beating the Northern Beaches Blues by 1 point.

The AFL North Coast season continues this weekend with Round 7 matches scheduled for Sawtell and Port Macquarie.

The Sawtell/Toormina Saints meet in a rematch of their Round 5 match against the Grafton Tigers, while the Northern Beaches Blues travel to take on the Port Macquarie Magpies.
