The men were trounced by the competition leaders Molonglo by 95 points, 18-15-123 to 4-4-28
The boys were certainly undermanned with full back Joel Pearson not unavailable because of work.
Jimmy Finucane and Stephen Chant played but had little impact on the game due to gastro and having only two players on the bench and only one only after half-time.
Backman Mick Knagge was not going to play because of a knee injury, however with the Blues playing numbers very low, Mick pulled on the boots and played strongly.
All this, playing against a rampant Molonglo side, saw the Blues suffer one of their heaviest defeats in Canberra.
