The Minutemen claimed a convincing 35-6 victory over the Hornets in Sunday's regular-season clash, extending their winning run to three consecutive matches while halting the hosts' slide.
It was a stark contrast to recent form for the Hornets, who had lost their last three games in a row against Bayson, the Bulldogs and now the visitors. They showed flashes of their earlier promise with the 52-0 win over Delta Devils, but that momentum has clearly evaporated.
The Minutemen, meanwhile, have been relentless. Three straight wins over Skyhawks, Pioneers and Red Knights, all by comfortable margins, and this result only adds to the impression they are building something serious. And here's the thing — they cut the Hornets open at will, something the visitors haven't managed against opponents in quite this way.
For the Hornets, the defeat means another game without points on the board. They ran out of legs against a side that looked sharper at every turn. To be fair, they started with some energy, but the visitors turned it around after the break and never looked back.
The result extends the Minutemen's unbeaten run to eight across all competitions, though this was the first time they had faced a side in such poor recent form. By then, the game was already beyond doubt.
