Norths have comfortably beaten Wests 50-20 at Purtell Park on Saturday. The Devils were never really troubled at all by the Panthers, whose defensive effort has a lot less to be desired. The Panthers were just simply dreadful and were not clearly the same side that upset Ipswich, last week.

Norths jumped out to a 16-0 lead after 16 minutes but lost their a way a bit by throwing forwards passes and making silly errors. The Panthers struck back in 29th minute with a try to Marc Fickling but the Devils suddenly snapped back into action by crossed over for two tries to take a 26-6 lead at half-time.

Both teams fumbled around for the first 10 minutes of the second half but Norths clicked back into gear and proceeded to demolish their tackle-shy opposition. Tries came quick and fast for the Devils with Terry Bensen (2), Dallas Johnson and Semi Tadulala all crossing in the space of 16 minutes to put the visitors up 50-6.

But the Panthers came back and added a bit of respectability to the score-line when they crossed for three late tries in the last 10 minutes of the match. However, the Devils still ran out comfortable 50-20 winners and will now move into 3rd spot on the ladder in front of East Coast, due to for-and-against.

In the lower grades, Norths proved to be much too strong in A Grade winning 38-18 while their Colts side crushed the Wests 44-18, in the top of the table clash.
