After the match's scoring was opened by a penalty goal to Jets' Dylan Farrell, the first try on Saturday occurred the 28th minute when Farrell, despite the attention of three Knights' defenders, got a flick pass away to winger Braydon Walsh, who then scooted down the sideline, stepped inside Tom Atkins and scored.
Captain/coach Farrell converted for 8-nil, which is how it remained until the break.
Seven minutes after the break, the Jets had their second, with Farrell's slight of hands sending Matt Rouen over to score next to the sticks.
Farrell made it three from three with the boot and the lead was 14.
Farrell had his third try assist of the game, when he put Tyson Simpson over the score, after receiving a flick-pass from Kurt Quinlan in the 51st minute.
Farrell's conversion made it 20-nil, with 28 to play.
The win was iced in the 59th minute when Josh Power Farrell dived over to the left of the uprights.
Farrell's perfect day with the boot made it 26-nil at full-time - a result that moves the Jets into the fifth on the ladder, while the Knights remain in fourth.
Next week, the Jets travel to Michael Cronin Oval to face Gerringong as Kiama prepare to lock horns with Berry-Shoalhaven Heads.
