Juniors achieving results

U10s Central West Funerals/Cambridge Hotel and Blue Heeler Storage/Terry Bors Parkes U10s played Condobolin for the 2024 Malcolm Buerckner Memorial Trophy. Both teams played extremely well and put on a great show with Parkes being the winners of the day. Parkes Marist Junior Rugby League would like to say a special thank you to Debbie, Sonia, Matthew, Eli and Jason for joining us to celebrate the Memorial Day this year. U12s Dirt Drs/Sullivan's Mining and Industrial U12's boys had an outstanding game on Saturday against Condobolin, and despite a couple of injuries they well and truly managed a confident win of 18-0. Each try was a testament to their hard work, individual talents and also shows their collective growth and potential as a team. Their defence was equally impressive, maintaining composure and shutting down any attempts by the opposition to penetrate their lines. Early in the game, Tyson Smith had a great chase of one of the Condo boys, bringing him down in a great tackle. There were some great attacking runs from Billy White, Nayte Reeves, and Harvey O'Keefe. Solid runs by our big boys Jaylen Richardson, Flynn Oram and Isaac Tillman kept Condobolin on their toes. Harry Oram had fab day on the field, finishing off tackles and taking the ball on the full, from Condos kick. Jaylen set up a great ball, for Harry to be able to go over the line and score. U14LT Blue Sullivan's Mining and Industrial/Steve Magill Earthmoving U14LT Blue played on a beautiful day for football at home, the team took on Condobolin's formidable Blue and Gold teams. Despite their best efforts, Parkes suffered defeats in both games, with final scores of 0-34 against Condobolin Blue and 0-38 against Condobolin Gold. Condobolin's exceptional defence highlighted why they are among the top eight on the ladder. After a home game against Parkes White on Friday night, the developing Parkes Blue side had plenty of time to implement strategies practised during training. Their efforts on the field were commendable, with several standout performances: Aliza Roberts demonstrated exceptional tagging and body diving skills, securing bombs from Condobolin and delivering strategic grubber kicks with potential scoring opportunities. Layla Kupkee played half-back and excelled in tagging most opposing players who broke through Parkes's defence, along with Luca Barnes, effectively chasing down opponents. Shelby Skerman made a significant impact in an attack by breaking through the Condobolin Gold line, running half the field's length, and securing crucial defensive tags. Mary Gray, Maya Roffe, Shae-Lee Lord, and Bryanna Moore applied relentless pressure on the wings, forcing errors from Condobolin and securing tags on their line. Eva Mulligan, Scarlett Lawryk, and Holland Tanswell played consistently in the centre, gaining meters and defending the line with determination. Ellsie Tomlinson, Jorja Hetherington, and Daisy Rice all varied the Parkes attack, creating scoring opportunities that were ultimately thwarted by Condobolin's swift tagging. The Parkes Blue U14LT team has shown remarkable improvement throughout the season. Holding Condobolin Gold to 38 points in this game marks a significant advancement compared to their previous encounter. Although short on points, the team has had ample opportunities to practice and refine their skills through extensive game time this year. Special thanks to coaches Stacey Milne and Bobbie Fliedner for their time and expertise this season. Their commitment to coaching two teams has been instrumental in developing a solid pipeline of players for the future Spacecats. U14LT White Bob Skinner Painting and Decorating/Steve Magill Earthmoving U14LT White girls had to play 2 games against Condobolin on Saturday and did so confidently, coming away with a win in both games. Piper White had an outstanding game with some amazing attempts at conversions, from way out wide, and also ran a lot of miles on the field. There was a great moment between cousins- Piper and Emily White, seeing a great draw and pass from Piper to put Emily over for a try in the corner. There was a solid effort from every player on the team over the 2 games, with precision passing allowing them to dominate from start to finish. In both games they maintained their composure and executed their game plan flawlessly, completing sets and defending consistently. Chelsey Norris, Myla Rose Studdert, Miley Duff and Ayesha Carruthers showed great effort and teamwork. Katie and Ruby Galvin also played tremendously in both games.
