Junior Blues score a trio of home ground wins

It was a day to remember for Narrabri and District Junior Rugby League on Saturday as rugby league finally kicked off again in Narrabri.

Narrabri’s under-13s, under-15s and under-16s teams were all in action at Collins Park in their respective round two matches and all three were victorious.

The 13s Blues made it two from two as they defeated Kootingal 28-4, and the 15s also made it two from two with a 32-16 win against Gunnedah.

The 15s’ win was even more impressive considering that they played with 11 against 12 Gunnedah players for most of the contest, but the home side dug deep for one another to come away with the result.

Meanwhile the 16s Blues scored their first win of the season when they downed Kootingal 40-12.
