Gundagai hold Southcity scoreless in most dominant performance yet

An ankle injury to Troy Barby is the only negative from another impressive win by the Tigers.

Gundagai proved far too good for Southcity at Anzac Park on Sunday, taking a 38-0 win over last year's grand finalists.

The Bulls scored their first win of the season last week, but have shown they have got plenty of points in them despite a large player turnover.

However Gundagai's defence was more than a match for them as the ladder leaders extended their unbeaten start to the season.

Tigers coach Adam Perry was pleased with all aspects.

"It was our most complete game," Perry said.

"All the other ones we've had patches where we have dropped a heap of ball or have gone away from what we've wanted to get done so it was good to play 80."

Perry doesn't want the side to peak too early, especially after crashing out with successive losses after claiming the minor premiership last year.

However he is pleased with how the team is building.

"We don't want to be peaking right now but it is good to see a bit more of a complete game as we are getting closer to the finals," Perry said.

"We need to keep backing it up now."

With captain Luke Berkey, former coach James Smart and Seb Cottam already on the sidelines, the injury to Barby was far from what the Tigers need

The lock was carried off the field with around 15 minutes to play while making a tackle.

Perry is unsure how serious the issue is.

Barby had been one of the best performers for the Tigers while Mathew Lyons and Tyron Gorman both crossed for doubles in the win.

Lyons got his side on the board after scoring from dummy half after minutes.

Derek Hay then got a lovely offload away for Aisea Taholo to score with 11 minutes left in the half before Gundagai took a 14-0 lead into the break as Tyron Gorman scored off a short side scrum move a minute before the break.

Southcity had few chances to score in the second half as the Tigers continued their roll on.

Gorman put them further in front when he stepped through the line to score with 27 minutes to play as the floodgates started to open.

The Bulls didn't touch the ball before former junior Lyons crossed for his second before another set of back-to-back tries to Dane O'Hehir and Damian Willis completed the victory.

Southcity slip to fifth with the loss ahead of a big clash with Young at Alfred Oval on Sunday.

The Cherrypickers moved around the Bulls after their 20-0 win over Kangaroos on Saturday and are looking to win their last three games to ensure they play finals with Southcity having the bye to end the season.

While Gundagai will be looking to maintain their place on top of the ladder when they face Junee, who need to win to remain any hope of playing finals.
