The Breakers leapt out of the blocks early, registering an eleven scoring shot to one opening quarter to lead at the first change by 30 points.

The Magpies fought back hard in the second term, kicking six goals of their own in one of their best quarters of footy all season, to only trail at half time by eight points.

The Breakers then registered three goals in the third quarter, before piling on another ten in the last, whilst keeping Port scoreless in the second half.

The final 93 point margin sees the Breakers move into the top two, where an upset win next week against Grafton would assure them of a home semi final.

Coffs had many winners on the day, led by Joshua Lansdowne, Liam Beacom, Mathew Gleeson, Aidan Wallace, Jake Hayes, and Royce Close. The Breakers had multiple avenues to goal throughout the day, with Close kicking five, Liam Dunn kicking three, and Michael McMahon, Tyler Ryan, Liam Spencer and Hayden Proctor each kicking two.

For Port, Braden Saggers was their only multiple goalkicker with three first half majors, and was named in the Magpies' best along with Nathan Dorrington, Adam Wall, and Blake Nelson.

Grafton are the first team to reach the 2020 AFL North Coast Grand Final, sealing their spot with a 21 point win over fellow contenders Sawtell Toormina Saints.

Playing the game under lights at Richardson Park, both teams turned out with finals like intensity, as they tried to get in one more knockout blow before a possible rematch in a few weeks' time.

Both teams squandered opportunities in front of the big sticks in the first half, with Grafton's four point quarter time lead reversing to become a four point half time margin in favour of the Saints.

Both sides gave their all in a see-sawing third quarter, with Grafton holding a three point lead at the last change. Knowing a win would see them through to the Grand Final, Grafton put the foot down with a five goal to two final term, to record the victory and a pre-Grand Final week off.

Grafton's strength this year has been their ability to run out games and to score when under pressure. Their points for this season are 301 better than their nearest rival, and their attack will need to be curbed come Grand Final day.

Ned O'Neill was the best in attack for Grafton, booting five majors, while Callum O'Loughlin contributed two. For the Saints, young star Ronan Singleton kicked two goals of his own.

In the Women's match, the Coffs Harbour Breakers continued their undefeated run this season, with a 46 point victory over the Sawtell Toormina Saints.

A strength of the Breakers this season has been their tight defence, and this was evident again this match as they kept the Saints scoreless in three of the four quarters. In comparison, the Breakers were able to kick goals in each quarter.

The Saints kicked both of their goals early in the third quarter to draw within 20 points. At this stage the momentum was with the Saints and it looked as though a come from behind upset was a possibility but the absence of a bench saw the Sawtell players run out of steam.

The Breakers will take some beating after the form they've shown throughout the whole season, and will get one last chance to hone their skills next week before the Grand Final, when they take on the Northern Beaches Blues.

Straight kicking in front of goal is a valuable commodity in any form of footy and the Breakers have a sharp shooter in Katika Adams who booted another three in this match. Further goals were kicked by Jaimee O'Connell and Amy Johanson (two each), whilst Jasmine Mulgrew added one.

The Saints had single goal kickers, with their majors scored by Kate Williams and Fiona Lane.
