Mulwala controlled the game from start to finish in what was a scrappy game played in very wet and muddy conditions.
Oscar was relishing in the mud, playing like a young boy given free rein to slide through the puddles.
The ever-improving Irishman Cathel Deveroux locked down a defensive role and along with the generals Kyal Tyson and Lach Rouel, Rumbalara had great difficulty scoring.
On the other hand, Mulwala had Sean Robinson and young superstar Jackson Meade capitalize up forward, guiding the Lions to a convincing victory.
