For the St Pat's Group 10 league tag side on Sunday it was Bronte Emanuel and Erin Naden who fulfilled that role.

Emanuel scored both of the tries for the Saints in their 10-4 win over Orange Hawks while best on ground and Group 10 player of the season Erin Naden shut down almost every line break the two blues found.

With the victory Pat's completed their second straight undefeated premiership season, claimed their third title in a row and their fourth crown in five years.

Naden's presence has always been felt throughout this Pat's team in 2019 and that was more the case than ever before during the decider.

Hawks troubled the Saints defensive line throughout the entire game - led by big efforts from both Bec Ford and Em McDonald - and their players often found themselves in one-on-one situations against Naden.

None of the Hawks line breaks out of their own half resulted in a try, thanks to Naden's chase down efforts.

It wasn't until the final two minutes that the Hawks found their breakthrough, courtesy of Ford in the right corner.

"It feels so good to get the win because this was a really tough game," Naden said.

"Winning against Hawks is always amazing and going through the season undefeated is really special.

"Going into half-time with the score not too high we were feeling a little nervous but we dug deep, did the job we needed to do and got there in the end."

With victory in Sunday's grand final St Pat's took their already incredible winning streak out to 38 games, a run which stretches back to a victory in the 2017 qualifying final.
