Renegades were the only team to give them a tough time with the help of Rod Stewart, who stole tries at every opportunity, and the evergreen Phil Heaney.

But Teachers still ran out 38-28 winners.

Police also looked as they might put up a fight but eventually went down 24-0.

Mariners, with only Danny McGavern holding the fort, were beaten 34-0.

It turned out to be an impressive afternoon for Teachers as Bobby Hurdle dominated affairs, ensuring his team threw the ball around intelligently.

Some fine running by Heath Robinson and Nathan Brown, aided by the boot of Ross Webber, left no one in any doubt that it was their afternoon.

The Denton Hurdle Memorial match takes place this Sunday at 3.00 with Teachers looking to add to their season's honours.

Final Halbro standings: Teachers 8pts; Police 6; Renegades 4; Mariners 2; Teachers B 0.
