Game 2 saw Campion continue their dominance with another solid win. Cameron again bagged 8 points, as did Alex Jones. Oneil Britton, Jordan Cochrane and Damair Fairclough got a try each, and Nathaniel Cowell kicked a goal. The lone scorer for St Catherine was Tyshawn Lewin with 6 points.

Winning coach Andrew Dixon said, “It’s good to have the series back, we weren’t sure what to expect as the boys have been out of training due to exams. We struggled to find our structure early in the games and we had a few handling errors, however, our defence was strong throughout and that pressure helped us put points on the board.”
