Moments before the whistle for the first half Jack Kirkham also crossed the line to give Pokolbin a 10-0 half time..
In the second half with the wind at their backs and the downhill run the Reds lifted the pace and proceeded to control the game and put on five tries thanks too Dylan Dower, Dan Thomas, Brenton Bailey and Lee Sparks with three conversions too Stu Garrett and two to Alex Thrift.
