In wet conditions at Laurie Daley Oval on Sunday, it was a spectacle with few highlights but the Bulls were always in control.

They hit the front after seven minutes and didn't concede a point to keep the pressure on their top four rivals.

Holding the Dragons scoreless was the most pleasing aspect of the 12-0 win for captain-coach Nathan Rose.

"It was just good to come away with the two points and the only pleasing thing was they didn't score any tries," Rose said. "They probably had the majority of the ball so it was an awesome effort by the boys to keep turning up for each other and not leak any points."

Daniel Foley opened the scoring after Southcity were able to apply plenty of pressure early.

When Kyle McCarthy slid through the Dragons defence off a scrum move it loomed as another blow out.

However the Dragons were able to get themselves back in the arm wrestle but struggled to crack the Bulls defence.

They were camped on their line late in the first half but couldn't find a way through as Southcity took a 8-0 lead into the break.

The Bulls had plenty of ball to start the second half but couldn't capitalise.

Temora also had a number of chances but couldn't find a way through.

It took until the 71^st minute for the Bulls to extend their lead as Brody Tracey broke through the line before finding Foley for his second.

After suffering a 38-6 loss at Harris Park a month ago, Temora coach Josh McCrone was pleased with the fight shown by his side to keep in touch with one of the competition favourites.

Especially after losing five-eighth James Stewart in the opening minutes.

"The foundation is getting more and more solid," McCrone said. "We are showing lots of character.

"We lost the five-eighth five minutes in again and it changes the way we play massively.

"At the minute points aren't coming freely but if we keep defending like that we are going to come out the other side.

"I don't know if the teams who are competing for that fifth spot can defend like we have for the past couple of weeks. We're building and they are one of the best teams in the comp."

However he's looking for a way to spark their attack after just falling short against Gundagai last week.

Temora have the bye before a big clash with Albury. The Thunder are the next opponents for the Bulls as well.

Rose is wary of a trip down to Greenfield Park.

"They have been making teams work for their wins so we will have to turn up with a good attitude and be ready to play footy," he said.
