Despite spending much of the opening period in their own half, it was Dings who opened the scoring.
Sol Taufa finding space on the left to run in from inside his own half, evading a couple of tackles, with Tom Knight converting.
Moseley's reply was immediate, Aquile Smith running on to a clever chip in the left corner. With the home team dominating territorially, a Jack Jolly penalty and an Ethan Priest try took them to a six-point lead.
Dings finished a tight half by breaking through. With an overlap, Knight ran free to score, the conversion miss bringing the half-time whistle.

The second period was a more open affair, Moseley scored early with another Smith try in the corner, Louie Trevett replying for the visitors soon after to bring the game back to a single point.
However the hosts began to flex their muscles, Jolly converting Samuel Pointon's wonderful solo score and Tighe Maxwell-Whiteley adding a penalty.

George Boulton would add a penalty of his own for the visitors, before two tries for the hosts in the last ten minutes. Isaac McNulty's touchdown was converted by Maxwell-Whiteley before Daniel Brough score on the stroke of full-time.
