Sam White booted five goals in an excellent display up front for the Cats.
Star utility Adam Higham kicked three majors while Jacob Connor chimed in with two as Muswellbrook remained undefeated in 2018, with only League heavyweights Newcastle City and Terrigal Avoca in front of them on the table.
The Cats were best served by Jacob Connor, Kyle Bray, Jordan Solly and Nigel Smith.
