"We got back to our strengths when our eleventh man arrived, with a great effort from Dylan Halls who bagged another two goals," Worboys said.
"It was great to see Matt Moore and Brad Fuda notch a goal each to give us the 5-1 victory."
"It was a top effort from the boys this week. We were under strength but played simple, good football."
Barnies Beyond Blue were also delighted with their 7-0 win B-grade over Saints Ignite on Sunday.
The side went away with no less than two hat-tricks courtesy of Chris Davis and Aaron Slendor. John Forrest-White scored a single when his cross turned into a well-placed shot.
