The first grade lads were determined to turn things around from last week’s loss and prove they were still hot contenders for the first grade comp.
Captain Joe Bobbins and his first grade team dominated the Moruya pack right from the word go, displaying skill and fitness in both attack and defence.
Hard-hitting play from Wame Beloevu, Luke Ingram and Adam Rodwell provided great go forward up the middle for the Heelers.
The fantastic control of the ruck from Paul Perkins and Blake Robinson meant that skillful Tyler Jones was able to weave his magic often linking up with speedsters Bailey Jones, Alex Rosten and Zac Slater out wide with Rosten and Slater both scoring hat tricks by the end of the day.
The score at half time was 28-4 in the Heelers’ favour.
Joe Bobbin and Wame Belolevu made some great runs gaining metres and providing try assists.
Sami Buismasi and Jackson Standen had great impact coming off the bench and were able to cut attackers in defence brushing two or three defenders in attack.
Malcolm Stone proved reliable as ever and the return of Brett Hodak provided confidence for the team out on the paddock.

This weekend Bombala gets a break as the group 16 dedicate it to the wet-weather make-up round.
The three grades will be preparing for their next big hit out at home on Saturday, July 8 in the Annual Heritage Round and all-round highlander grudge match with the Cooma Stallions Club.
It will be another top of the table clash for the first graders where they will seek to redeem themselves from their close loss in Cooma earlier in the season.
The first grade Stallions remain undefeated this year.
