It was an important win for First Grade to get their season back on track and what a win it was. The Blues downed the Hawks 52 points to 6 in a contest which had some great individual performances.
Captain of the Blues Mat Bird crashed over first as he ran a good line down his right edge. Young guns Tristan Scott and Willy Baker both scored doubles, joined by Jesse Rullis, Oral Monaghan and Curt Scott in the try scoring.
Sam Watts had a near perfect day off the boot kicking 7 from 8 goals.
Reserve grade also had a solid win downing the Hawks 28 to 4. Front rower Marshall Brown was one of Wauchope's best picking up the players player award.
The Under 18's didn't have quite as convincing a win; however they got the job done with an 18 to 10 victory. The win places the young Blues in fourth position on the ladder. Players player for the under 18's was Will Ramsay.
The League tag girls – lacking numbers - struggled with a 22-nil loss. Georgia Malcolm was the Blues best on the park with her never- give-up approach to the game. The Blues will now travel to Wingham on Saturday with games kicking off at 11.30.
