The Saints (fifth) defeated the Eagles (fourth) for the second time this season and will face them in a must-win battle in two weeks’ time.
The contest was evenly-matched throughout as Evandale took a slender nine-point lead into the final stanza, but it was St Pats that eventually prevailed 7.8 (50) to 5.16 (46). Brad Pearton and Jacob Knight kicked two goals apiece to spearhead the victors’ charge, while ruckman Ted Davis gave midfielders Tom Hilder and Sam Lee first use.
Evandale had five individual goalkickers with Brady Wagner, Dylan Wells and Jason Bennett named their best.
MEANDER VALLEY clinched their fourth win with a four-point victory over Tamar Cats at Westbury, thanks largely to a four goal to two final term.
The visitors led for the majority but were overrun by a spirited Suns outfit to lose 13.13 (91) to 12.13 (85).
Taylor Bailey and Adam Scott finished with four majors to their names as James de Boer, Patrick Wadley and Dominic Burridge stood tall.
For Tamar, Marc Davey, Jacob Parker and Ryan Bosker did all they could, while coach Joe Hammond proved dangerous as he converted two goals. Liam Shegog, Quinton Tahiri and Harry Adams ended up with two majors each.

Eagles forward Shannon Mulvey claimed a six-goal haul in the 94-point triumph, while Mark Edwards booted three. Damon Howe, Adam Mcdermott and Rhys Lovering shone brightly for the second-placed Uni.
Dylan Laskey (two goals) produced the goods for the Hawks as did Cooper Hayes and Brodie Reaney.
A Thane Bardenhagen six-goal bag guided LILYDALE to an armchair-win over Perth.
The premiership contenders won 33.25 (223) to 1.2 (8) with 50 more scoring opportunities and 14 individual goalkickers in the 215-point drubbing.
Bailey Hawes, Rory Mansell and Trent Griggs starred around the ground.
Alan Dabner slotted the Magpies’ solitary major
