After three wins in a row where they had been pushed to two goals or closer the Reds finally unleashed the shackles with a thumping ten goal victory over North.
The match was all but over after a five goal to one first quarter, and the margin was out to six goals by half time. North had their one winning quarter for the day in the third, shaving a point off the margin, before failing to score in the last and suffering a thrashing.
