Canterbury-Bankstown remain undefeated in the 2022 NSW Cup Premiership after securing a convincing 30-0 win over the Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles at HE Laybutt Field on Monday evening.
The visitors opened up the scoring in the 6th minute when Kyle Flanagan placed a perfectly weighted kick 15 metres out for Jake Averillo to latch onto. The five-eighth was able to dive over in his first NSW Cup appearance for 2022.

The Bulldogs were almost in again minutes later, attacking deep into the Sea Eagles half. A sweeping ball movement from right-to-left saw an overlap develop in the Blacktown Workers defence, though Canterbury-Bankstown winger Isaac Lumelume was unable to find enough space to squeeze through in the right corner.
With time ticking down to halftime, it was the Bulldogs who popped up on the scoreboard again when Reece Hoffman was put through a hole to score by the posts. The Belmore based club heading into the sheds with a healthy 18-0 lead at Blacktown.
The first try of the second half came in the 53rd minute when Kurt Morrin found himself in the right place at the right time to dive over.
The match was put to bed in the closing stages when Billy Tsikrikas crashed over from a few metres out.
