Having lost their opening three games, the Islanders were in need of maximum points to prevent themselves becoming isolated at the foot of the table, and they delivered in front of a home crowd with a fast-paced performance against physical opponents.
A 14-10 first-quarter lead was extended to 30-18 by half-time as the hosts demonstrated the confidence and skill that pushed them into the top 20 amateur clubs in the country in May, and although Middlesbrough-based Grangetown won the third quarter 12-11, player of the match Lynsey Pitman guided Jets home in the fourth with a near-unstoppable shooting display.
