Playing before a healthy size crowd at McLean Oval, the Hawks had an even contribution of effort across the board.
They remain undefeated so far this season having strung together six wins from six starts and have now moved to the top of the table on 14 points.
Skipper Luke Brown, Riley Manwaring and Rhett Foreman continued their good form scoring a pair of tries each, while Matthew McLay and Josh Quinn also crossed the paint. Andrew Jones had his kicking boots on to make five conversions.
It was a terrific day for Harden with the Hawkettes also having a ton of fun playing two games against their ADFA counterparts. The Harden girls claimed the first match 48-6, and won the second match 50-10.
Harden’s under 18 team travelled to Gungahlin to do battle with the young Bulls outfit and the game ended in a 18-all draw.
