ALBION PARK-Oak Flats Eagles are back to their attacking best with a 58-16 thrashing of the Batemans Bay Tigers. Centre Simon Piminovs and veteran Cole Skelly both starred for the home side, scoring hat-tricks.
The pair received good support from Southern Division Centre Sean Jenkins who crossed twice. Steve Butfield and Ben Brookefield were standouts for the Eagles, as was Skelly. The win sees Park remain on the top of the table with Nowra close behind in second after a crushing win over Kiama Knights 56-22, at Kiama Showground.
Shellharbour City Sharks had their third draw for the season against Gerringong at Ron Costello Oval. Poor handling dogged both sides, with a mistake from the second half kick off, resulted in a Lions try and comeback, ending 24 all. The Sharks finished strongly and a likely win is just around the corner.
It was a tough day at Berry Showground for Warilla, going down to a rejuvenated Magpies line up, 44-10.
Magpies utility Tim Gallagher was a standout, while Mark Walsh, Peter Hooper and Craig Nolan never stopped trying for the Gorillas.
