Saints lead by a kick.

The Eagles’ Jake Waterman had a shot on goal inside the attacking 50.

But it shifted off target and went through for a minor score.

Almost midway through the first term, and neither side has managed a goal.

The Saints have threatened but the Eagles’ defence has calmly diffused any chance of a major.

A tight affair so far.

No side has exerted dominance yet in the first quarter, with the only score coming via a Mitch Owens behind for the Saints.

We have a modest crowd in attendance under the roof at Docklands.
