The Bobcats secured a comfortable 28-14 victory over the Lumberjacks on Sunday evening in their regular-season fixture. The home side controlled proceedings from the opening period and never looked back. It was a straightforward afternoon for the hosts, who finished four clear at the halfway point.
The Bobcats arrived in solid form, having won their previous four matches without dropping a point. Their most recent outing saw them edge the Blue Devils 35-30 away. Before that came victories over the Wolf Pack and Bulldogs, with the latter producing a 51-24 scoreline. The Trailblazers match on opening day was particularly emphatic at 54-0.
The Lumberjacks came into this game on a three-match winning streak. They had beaten the Trailblazers 35-23 and the Cardinals 38-28 in their two most recent outings. But that run came after a heavy 35-7 defeat to the Wildkatz on September 6th. Their form had been inconsistent rather than dominant throughout the early season.
What stood out was the Bobcats' ability to maintain their intensity across all periods. They did not allow the Lumberjacks any real momentum, even when the visitors showed brief flashes of promise. The scoreline at the break suggested the game was already decided. By then the Bobcats had built enough of a cushion to manage the final quarter without pressure.
The result extends the Bobcats' perfect start to the season. They have now won all four of their matches, scoring 160 points while conceding just 91. The Lumberjacks sit at three wins and one loss, but this defeat ends a run they might have been building on. The gap between them and the league leaders remains significant.
