Four tries for Aidy Manley, a hat-trick haul for Jon Nicholls and 30 points for Paul Drake propelled the Bramley Buffaloes to a 94-0 demolition of Carlisle Centurions in the sunshine at Stanningley.
The home side bossed proceedings from the opening whistle against their Cumbrian visitors and the floodgates opened on four minutes when Manley crossed in the corner. The points continued to pile up with Bramley going in at half-time 50-0 up.

"It was important that we got back to winning ways after last week's draw at Featherstone," added Butterill whose charges now face two more home games against Warrington Wizards on Saturday, June 20 (2.30pm) and Gateshead Storm on Thursday, June 25 (8pm).
Game breaker: Aidy Manley completed his hat-trick within the first 17 minutes of the game, there was no way back for the Centurions after that
