The result came as something of a surprise, ending Biganos' ten-game winning run, but Thatto, who led 24-0 at half time, were dominant throughout.
With entry to the game free of charge, the game enjoyed a bumper crowd with an estimated 300 people turning out.

For good measure, the Ladies' A team took centre stage in the side's league campaign and picked up an impressive 38-24 win over Wigan St Patricks earlier in the day.
In a hugely successful weekend for the club, their NCL Division One side picked up a hard-earned 28-4 win at Hunslet Warriors, while their North West Men's League Premier Division team took a 24-0 walkover against Widnes West Bank which propelled them up to second in the table.
