Jacob Doyle, Jack Gray, Kyle Humphrey, Patrick Schofield, Jarram Toomey and Nick Young banded together and came up with really strong defense.
The best play of the game went to Hayden Skeers and Corey Spink.
Hayden broke through three defenders to run over half the length of the field with Corey backing him up.
Just before the try line a Sea Eagles defender caught up to Hayden and tackled him but not before he threw the perfect pass to Corey who went over to score.
Final score saw another victory at 26 to 12.
Try scorers were Hayden Skeers (three), Isaac Walker and Corey Spink.
Conversions to Corey Spink, Patrick Schofield and Patrick Kearney.
Under 16s
The game had barely begun before Tathra were awarded a penalty and scored a try.
Handling errors saw possession swap regularly before Eden was next to score through livewire half Jamie Mohammed, and the conversion took Eden to a six to four lead.
More dropped ball by both sides saw the play move from end to end, but another penalty to Tathra, which was converted, put Tathra back in the lead.
Another penalty to the home side saw them score again and the score moved to 16 to six.
Eden's “Mr Indestructible” Brad Johnson crashed over shortly after to reduce the lead but right on half-time the Sea Eagles scored and at the break it was 20 to 10.
Coach Cory Stewart stressed the need to reduce handling errors, not give away silly penalties and not to miss tackles.
Tathra scored first in the second half after another penalty, then again after Eden dropped the ball, and again after another penalty.
The score had blown out to 32 to 10.
A late try to Toby Timms brought the final score to 32-16.
