A burst of three tries in the opening ten minutes from Alex Brown, Chris Brown and Matt Allsopp gave the Bears licence to control the game. Ben Powis and Ty Watson both scored before City registered their first points. Further tries from Matt Cooper and Richie Whitehouse sent the Bears in at half time 40-6 ahead.
