Before Panthers found their 20-14 premier league win they also knocked over their local rivals in league tag (18-12), under 18s (36-18) and first division (28-12).
“There’s a really great feeling in the club at the moment and everyone’s really enjoying their football,” Panthers president Dennis Comerford said.
“There’s probably been three to four days this year where we’ve won all four grades, which is great for morale, and to do it in a local derby is an even greater feeling.”
The Panthers league tag side got revenge for the Saints’ 18-6 win over them earlier in the season.
Panthers took control of the opening half to be up 12-0 at the break before an improved Saints outfit levelled the game back up.
A late Stacey Elvy try got her side out of trouble.
Panthers have moved to the top of the table with the win, one point clear of Blayney.
“The girls were a little bit disappointed after losing to Blayney a week ago, so it was great for them to win over Pat’s,” Comerford said.
“Pat’s were leading the comp but now we’ve jumped into first spot and they’ve gone to third. It’s a really close competition there and that win is going to give them a lot of confidence.”
Panthers and Orange CYMS are the only two clubs in Group 10 to currently sit inside the top four in every grade.
