The catalyst for this victory was a four goal to one second quarter from the home side to open up a 29 point lead at the main break, a margin that proved too hard for the Magpies to overcome.
Port matched the Breakers with three goals in the final quarter, but in a shortened season, where percentage may play a role in determining final ladder positions, the Breakers may rue inaccuracy in front of goal, registering 11 goals 18 for the match.
Michael McMahon, Josh Hunt, Jay Guthrie, and Royce Close were named in the best for the Breakers, with Nicklaus Stanlan-Velt and Justin Millet kicking three goals each.
For Port, Jesse Schmidt, and Kye Taylor snared three goals apiece, with Jack Gooden, Braden Saggers, and Max Bylsma amongst the best players.
Coffs Harbour Breakers 11.18 (84) defeated Port Macquarie Magpies 8.7 (55).
