Under the whistle of Chris Reynolds, the game started with a burst through the centre by Narromine's Maddy Pickalow to score a try on the wing.
The Boars struggled to stop the rampaging Gorillas, who put on four tries in the first quarter.
Returning after the break, the Boars defence was working hard, generating a couple of opportunities to score tries.
Jordan Gaffney and Maddy Swan in particular worked hard to contain the Narromine attack, holding them to only two tries in the second quarter.
Jac Dwyer and Cailin Westcott were pushing hard, making breaks to gain valuable meters while Erica Stevenson pushed the attack and had Narromine defence running backwards once their captain took a breather on the bench.
Strong support over the ball by Georgia Ryan and Shanna Nock in the forwards gave Amy Hart an opportunity to offload through the Narromine defence to a striding Jordan Gaffney.
Jordan ran 55 metres before being brought down just shy of the line. A huge effort!

Starting the final quarter with a new determination, Cailin Westcott took the ball and pushed through the slowing Narromine defence to finally put Parkes on the board - then converted her own try.
She repeated this again with three minutes to go in the match, much to the delight of the Parkes supporters.
Narromine were too good in the end, in front of a vocal home crowd and eventually took the match 51-14.
The Boars have the bye this weekend, and will be returning to the field on Saturday, June 5 against the Mitchell team from CSU Bathurst at Northparkes Oval.
It's Hawaiian Shirt round, so don your favourite shirt and head down to support your Parkes Rugby club for three games of great rugby and join us afterwards at the Coachman Hotel for speeches and entertainment.
