Beginning confidently, Eugowra held their own until their fitness began to falter and, under pressure by the university side and unable to withstand the withering attack out wide, were completely outclassed by the Mungoes.
The first three tries, two by Hunt and one by Balcombe, were scored fairly quickly before Eugowra hit back via Aidan Goodall's converted try to give some confidence to the Eagles.
However in the last minutes of the first half after Balcombe scored his second try CSU took a 20-point lead and went to the break with the score at 26-6.
The second half was all CSU as they ran riot, making breaks all over the field, completely suppressing the Eugowra attack, and scoring another 54 points.
