Unam showed no mercy at home, as they thrashed Reho Falcons 78-7 in round eight of their Rugby Premier League fixture on Friday night.
Despite being humbled by a huge margin, it was the Rehoboth outfit that opened the scoring as early as the fourth minute with a converted try.
Unam responded in the ninth minute with their opening try. From that point on it was one-way traffic, as they ran in six tries in total in the first half, converting all but one.
With just minutes before the half-time break, a Reho Falcons was yellow carded for a high tackle.
The half-time score was 40-7. The second half started with Falcon pressing for their second try of the match but a strong and resilient Unam team continued were they left off as they dominated a Falcons team that was still a man down.
Unam continued to show why they are the log leaders, turning on the gas and running in six more tries to kill any hope their opponents had of fighting back. For scoring more than seven tries, Unam secured themselves two bonus points.
Of the six tries scored in the second half they only managed to convert four for them, leading to a final score of 78-7.
