Moss Vale dominated the division three decider and buried Bonnyrigg after leading 20-4 at halftime.

Matt Thorpe bagged a hat-trick, Nathan Roche got a double and Jack Wicks, Chris Freere and Jack Mendez also scored in the 32-point hiding. Thorpe was the man of the match. Coach Matt Carlyon said his team successfully negated their opposition’s superior size.

“We stuck to our game plan of working hard in defence and running the ball quickly out of dummy half,” he said.

“We had a much tougher game in the semi-final against John Edmondson High, which we won 26-20 on the bell.”
