The match was played in good spirit, with Narrabri FC lending several players to Moree Next Gen after the visitors were unable to field a full team.
Narrabri’s attack was led by Blake Stride, who found the back of the net twice, while Sital Nepal also added his name to the scoresheet.
The victory sees Narrabri maintain valuable competition points as the race for finals positions begins to heat up.
