The boys all played well and fought hard.
They are developing some great skills in defence and running plays with great free flowing ball play.
Jaylin Moran showed exceptional leadership with Jayden Kuhn receiving man of the match.
The under 9s are sure to have a great season.
Under 10s
Andrew Thomas Building under 10s played yet another hard game last weekend against Forbes Magpies.
The score was going one for one throughout much of the game. Parkes tries were scored by Kade Ticehurst, Beau Shearer, Rhys Thompson and Linc James.
The boys all played exceptionally well with extremely strong defence protecting their try line and not letting a try be scored through three sets of six on their line.
Mention must go to the team work that moved the ball down the line to the flying winger, Linc James who made short work of the Forbes defence scoring his first ever try.
The blistering winds played havoc with our kicking.
Final score 30-24. This week’s player’s player went to Ryan Whitney.
Junior League Tag
A good win was achieved by the Ex-services Club and McPhersons Spare Parts Junior League Tag team on Saturday against Forbes.

Under 12s
The Central West Sheds under 12s started the game with a knock on from the kickoff. Forbes had the perfect start, a turnover on the ten metre line.
The defence of Joe Monk, Sterling Green and Toby Cox helped prevent Forbes from scoring. After the initial onslaught the game turned into a cracker.
It went from one end of the field to the other. In attack Jack Milne, Oliver Thomas and Rhys James kept Forbes defence busy.
When Forbes tried to swing the ball wide, Dean Robinson and Ashley Hayward were reading the plays and shutting down their attack. At half time the score was 0 all.
The second half started awesome it wasn’t long before Daniel Hando barged over to score from Dummy Half. Marley Moran converted the try with a beautiful strike of the ball.
The game then went into a tug of war - just like the first half. Forbes managed to get two tries to be leading 10 – 6.
With only minutes to go - Jack Milne kicked across field to Deegan Ingram who scooped up the ball and headed for the corner post only to be denied a try by a desperate Forbes side.
Final score Forbes 10 – Parkes 6.
