Second placed Fraser Park had taken twelve points when they last faced fifth placed Rockdale City Suns and they repeated that exact dosage this week when they made off with a dozen points.
In Round 10 catch-up action played on Sunday Fraser Park picked up eight points from their clash with Hurstville City Minotaurs while the Suns took all nine points from the three games played against Hakoah.
