*********************************************
An unbeaten Randwick side faced their biggest test of the season so far against the reigning Premiers last Saturday but they faced an Eastwood side in transition and shorn of many of last season’s victorious grand final squad. But the Wicks were in no mood for sympathy, putting together an opening half of vim, vigour and precision to lead 22-0 at the break. The Woodies regrouped in the second stanza and fought back to get within 8pts and pick up a four-try bonus point. But it was too little, too late to upset the Galloping Greens early-season charge.
