In Round 3, the Swampies downed Woodberry 70-6. On Saturday, at Neville Thompson Oval, they bettered the points haul in defeating Cardiff 72-6.
Coach David Hoban couldn't help but be impressed.
"It was another very strong performance by us," he said.
Dora Creek led 40-6 at halftime which posed a particular challenge to the home team.
"When you are in games like this it is easy to go away from the game plans, so we wanted to ensure another strong 40 minutes. We scored some really good tries and Cardiff had no answer to us," Hoban said.
Fullback Israel Smith was outstanding. He scored two tries and kicked 10 goals for a tally of 28 points.
"He scored a 50-metre try off a tap penalty and beat five defenders," Hoban said.
"Other strong performers were our hooker Zac Brown and our halfback Theeran Pearson who easily had his best game this year."
Dora Creek will travel to take on the undefeated Fingal Bay this Saturday.
"Our club is very happy with four wins in a row to start the season and we head up to Fingal Bay this week and they are also undefeated," Hoban said.
"I think after this week we will really know how we are travelling in this competition. They are very hard to beat up there so we are really looking forward to the challenge."
