In the error strewn encounter, UG student, Ryan Dey scored a career high six tries to propel the former over the militia men and the Caribs.

The Wolves/Hornets unit had most of possession and even more of the territory, but failed to use it effectively in the overcast conditions. Nevertheless, winger Dey came alive in the second half to string together a series of tries for the men in blue and red.

The pre-season matches which will be used as a precursor to the Banks 7s will continue next weekend at the same venue.
