First grade turned in a great performance to take full points as well, smashing a hopeful Lake Macquarie side 55-15.
The opposition came into this with high expectations after obtaining some new signings to bolster their ranks for the second phase of the season but were unable to overcome a polished effort from the Bulls.

In his well deserved step up to the top grade, Jackson Andrews also enjoyed a big day with some crunching defence, earning him Complete Parts & Equipment Solutions Player of the Day honours.
Our first grade side will need to string together a series of wins through the back end of the season and hope other results go their way as a finals chance is only mathematical at this stage.
But they are nipping at the heels of sixth placed Southern Beaches and even this will be seen as an immense improvement on last years wooden spoon campaign.
While seconds were clinical, absolutelt trouncing a hapless Lake Macquarie side 93-0 to record a massive win on home turf.
