Women run riot in ladies day thriller

Saturday was a day for the ladies in every sense, as the Parkes Boars hosted four different clubs across six grades at Spicer Oval. After a very challenging day for most, the Boars women were the only victors for the club as rounds 9 and 10 came to a close. And a very dominant win it was with a final score of 91-0 against the Yeoval Eagles, the Parkes Boars' ladies day vibes well and truly sparking something within. It was even more special with Leanna Downie celebrating 50 games with the club. Players player on Saturday was Indi Heard. It's been another great season for the Boars women who have won seven out of eight games so far in the Women's North Cup competition. They sit at a comfortable second place on the ladder, five points from Mudgee Wombats who are undefeated and 12 points ahead of third-placed Wellington Redbacks. Both men's sides struggled to get any points on the scoreboard this week as they faced strong Narromine Gorillas outfits, who sit at number two on the New Holland Cup ladder in first and second grade. Both grades for Parkes are fifth on the ladder. The Gorillas walked away 46-0 and 43-0 in first and second grade respectively. Club veteran Jason Lowe was players player in first grade - the most recent Boar to join the 200 club, marking the occasion a few weeks ago - and Charlie Mahon was players player in seconds. The Colts went down fighting 5-12 against Orange City and Henry Rice was named players player. The club's juniors also took to the field on Saturday against the Mudgee Wombats, though it wasn't their day either with a 21-31 loss in the under 14s and 7-97 loss in under 12s. All senior sides have a bye this weekend.
