The young Walla players ran down the ramp and celebrated their excitement much to the delight of their family and the crowd.

First Grade Coach Israel Symington said these players are the future of our club.

The Junior and Sub Junior ranks are very strong and as a senior group we want to show them that they are as much a part of the Boars family as any senior player.

Missing the Ryan brothers, Joe Nash and Marika Korivoui the Boars faced off against a full strength Bathurst Bull Dogs. 

The first 20 minutes of the match was a very even tussle.

Bathurst crossed twice to put on 15 points with an added penalty goal while Parkes answered with a converted try thanks to Fly half Lloyd Rogers.

But Parkes couldn’t maintain the pressure and after a couple of missed tackles and handling errors Bathurst went to half time with a 25-7 lead.

The Parkes backs, Sam Standen, Ben Powlay worked hard with John Rathbone driving the defence but it was not enough to stop the attack.

Leo Havili, Rory Nock and Josh Cornellison impacted on the scrum holding the front row at each encounter. 

The final score was 70-7 

Next week the Boars are at home against Orange Emus at North Parkes oval.
