Gordon have been known for their direct and inventive attack in 2020 but their coach Darren Coleman was pretty chuffed about their defence in the 42-15 win over Randwick on Saturday.

The Highlanders scored six tries to two in a fantastic encounter in what was a good day for the visiting club at Coogee winning one and twos, fourth grade and second grade colts.

The Galloping Greens got things underway and gave their supporters some hope when Triston Reilly scored early in the piece and things went back and forth for much of the first half.

Maurice Longbottom added to the home team’s tally after that from long range but then the Gordon defence started to kick in and the benefits flowed.
