The Cobar U/11 junior rugby league side put in a strong performance against
Wellington winning their game 34-0 at Tom Knight Memorial Oval (TKMO) on
Saturday.
Cobar’s tries went to Jackson Hourne (2), Ethan Bereyne (2), Jay Ellison and Will Hinds.
Goal were kicked by Matthew Dillon (2), James Goonrey, Hourne and Max Hillier.
The U/13s home side was beaten 78-0 by PCYC.
The U/15s also lost to the PCYC visitors 52-16 with tries for Cobar recorded by Alec Burton (1) and Tom Sellick with Wade Potter successfully converting two goals.
The U/9s mini Roosters proved to be a comparable force against their more experienced Wellington side in their curtain-raiser exhibition match.
Down by a couple of tries, the Roosters took the lead in the second quarter with tries scored by Coopa Martin (2), Padraic Island (1) and Drea Dowling (1).
With good team work, strong defence and increasing confidence, the mini Roosters played their best game of the season.
All put in sound performances with the best on ground impossible to pick.
With a range of ages and experiences in the side, the team benefits greatly from its more senior players Padraic, Drea, Coopa and Jackson Goonrey.—contributed
