The Robins jumped out to a 20-point lead at quarter time and extended the margin out to 46 points at the long break.

The Giants had a burst of three goals in the third quarter to only allow the Robins to extend their lead to 52 points at the final change, but couldn’t maintain the pressure in the last quarter to allow the visitors to pile on five unanswered goals.

Liam and Travis Davies, Ashtyn Brett, Brandon Howard, Ryan Wing and Jack Dilger were the Robins best, while Harry Jaeger was the Giants best.

Sam Mitchell was the Two Blues’ best and was supported by Jack Templeton, David Scarffe, Brad Green and Jason Radford.
