Defending premiers and competition frontrunners Scone Thoroughbreds put an under-manned Singleton Greyhounds to the sword 58-0, giving them a huge buffer on the ladder.

The Aberdeen Tigers then overcame a 6-0 deficit to smash the Denman Devils 70-6 to maintain second spot on the table.

The victory capped a double celebration for the club, with youngsters Liam Wilton and Jake Duffin making their 2019 first grade debuts.

Playing off the back of the forwards - Tyler LePrince Campbell, Jayson Hovi and Travis Bateman, who made enormous inroads through the middle, Aberdeen halves Liam Foran and Sean Millwood had plenty of room to weave their magic.

The unstoppable Bateman even bagged a hat-trick.

Harry Douglass, Hamish Wolfgang and Hayden Bell, who landed a remarkable 11 goals from 12 attempts, also produced great games.
