After an even first quarter, the Cats got on top of the contest.
However, inaccurate kicking for goal, 11 majors from 33 scoring shots, prevented the margin reflecting their dominance.
Kyle Bray, Adam Higham, Jackson Cook and Jordan Solly were the best players with Cameron Benkovic (four) and Callum Strachan (three) the leading goakickers.
Muswellbrook 2.3, 5.10, 8.16, 11.22 (88)
Nelson Bay 0.1, 1.1, 2.1, 3.2 (20)
Goals: Cameron Benkovic 4, Callum Strachan 3, Jackson Cook 1, Adam Higham 1, Jeremy Smith 1, Jayden Galvin 1
Best: Kyle Bray, Adam Higham, Jackson Cook, Jordan Solly, Taylor Scott, Jeremy Smith
The Muswellbrook Women had another tough day at the office when they hosted the ladder leading Nelson Bay.
Once again the Cats were very determined, however the extra experience possessed by Nelson Bay proved too strong in the end.
Natalie Heard, Brittany Creighton, Ashleigh Barrowcliffe and Eila Mills were the best.
Nelson Bay 5.5, 9.10, 17.15, 21.18 (144)
Muswellbrook 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 (0)
Best: Natalie Heard, Brittany Creighton, Ashleigh Barrowcliffe, Eila Mills, Demi Farrell, Paris Adam
Next weekend, Muswellbrook travels to the Central Coast to take on Terrigal Avoca in both grades.
It will be a challenge for the men’s team as Terrigal Avoca is currently undefeated in that competition.
