The Gulls made short work of the Noristers on Saturday, winning 55-27 in their regular-season meeting. The visitors took control early and never looked back, stringing together a dominant display that left the home side trailing from start to finish.
It was a comprehensive showing from the away side, who had the game won inside twenty minutes and never allowed the hosts back into contention. The Noristers simply could not match the tempo, and by then it was already a matter of damage limitation rather than contention.
The home side's recent form has not been kind, having lost both of their last two outings. They had been edged out 43-41 by the Tigers and 49-35 by the Bears, a run that has seen them go from competitive to vulnerable in quick succession.
By contrast, the Gulls have been carving through opposition with ruthless efficiency. They battered the Eagles 35-6, then put 49 past the Mules, and had already dispatched the other Eagles side 24-14 in their opening fixture. This latest victory extends that winning momentum.
The final scoreline tells the story of a team that let the game flow and took every opportunity when it came. The Gulls now have themselves a serious run going, while the Noristers will need to find their footing quickly if they are to salvage anything from their campaign.
