Fifteen league matches, 114 tries scored and a 12-point lead at the top of the Tennent's Caledonia North Division 2 table is the story of Moray’s season so far.
In swashbuckling style, the Elgin outfit have overcome the disappointment of an opening day defeat at Highland 2nds to win every other match in their league campaign.
Virtually guaranteed promotion to Division 1 next season - nearest rivals Highland 2nds can't go up - Moray are now closing in on title glory.
And in all but one of their 14-game winning run, Moray have also managed to get the bonus point for scoring at least four tries in the game.
Only once, when they won 25-5 at Shetland in December, have Moray failed to get that fourth score for the extra point.
Their scoring has been relentless, clocking up double figures in tries in no fewer than four of their fixtures including an impressive 15-try tally in January’s 99-0 romp at Banff.
Wing Lewis Scott scored a hat-trick of tries in four consecutive matches near the start of the campaign and has amassed 23 tries in total over the league season.
His points total of 115 is however dwarfed by that achieved by full-back and stand-off Rory Millar, whose kicking as well as his try-scoring has been impressive.
In the league, Millar has helped himself to 15 tries and converted 73 of Moray’s 114 tries, as well as kicking eight penalties for a sensational total of 245 points.
No fewer than 27 players have scored at least one try for Moray this season in their 17 league and National Shield matches.
Scott's 23 tries in league matches is closely followed by Millar on 15 and centres Connor McWilliam (14) and Cameron Hughes (12) have been prominent on the scoresheet.
Former Glasgow High Kelvinside player Hughes is also the first team coach, with his training methods playing a big part in Moray's powerful running game.
This weekend, the Morriston side travel to play Aberdeen Grammar 2nds, who they defeated 68-0 at home near the beginning of the season.
Another victory in that match could set Moray up for a possible title-clincher at home to local rivals RAF Lossiemouth on March 25.
