"Bellingen Bulldogs do not have any teams older than U15s and all five of these players played with the Bulldogs up to their 15th year," explained Tanya Upsall.
She added that her son Kyan played with the Bulldogs this year as well as Sawtell as he is only 15.
"It shows you can still follow your footy passion as you get in those later teen years," she said.
The Saints remained undefeated all season and smashed rivals Grafton Tigers by 68 points in an exceptional display of skill, tenacity, speed and team spirit.
Well done to Isaac Malt, Harrison Lee, Kyan Upsall, Jude Quinn and Joey Schreenan on a fantastic performance.
