With backs Kimi Hattingh and Joel Scott Paul (in his first team debut game of the season) outpacing their opposite numbers at every opportunity they opened up the Harwich defence. Jamie Russell scampered over for the third try which he then converted for a 21-0 lead.
Lee Coulson scored his second try and Russell added the extras and, as the half time whistle went, the Tigers led 28-0.
The second half turned to one of frustration for Ely with Harwich now beginning to spoil their clean ball and this allowed the opposition to score their first try and conversion (28-7).
Ely upped their game again and this resulted in another try with Kieren Kennett supporting well. The kick was missed but the score line was still impressive at 33-7.
Jon Hunt was the next to break the gain line for the Tigers and, having played well all game, made a 50 yard dash to the line offloading to Lee Coulson who scored his hat trick.
Harwich scored the final points of the game to finish at 38-14.
