Nathan Aldridge's troops continued to keep their foot on the throttle, with Jordan Haddow and Brodie Chapman also scoring first half goals.

Whatever Alex Dicker said to his troops at the break worked, as the Bears scored the match's next two goals through Shane Button and Isaac Quirque.

Sam Swan made it 3-nil in the 62^nd and the visitors thought they were home.

The Panthers are one point further back, with Huskisson and United on two and Culburra on zero.
