Great Team Effort By Spacies To Win Three Grades Of Footy At Nyngan

May 31, 2024 by Roxane Manley

L-R Ryan Cox for U18s, Joe Dwyer for 1st Grade and Nate Wilson for Reserves

 

The Parkes Spacemen travelled to Nyngan last Sunday and came home with a 3 grade win. We caught up with Paul Clyburn at training on Tuesday night and he said, “It was great to come away with a 3 grade win.

Scores on the day were as follows, League tag lost 8-12, but it was a close game that the girls should have won, Under 18’s won 34-16, Reggies won 56-20 and Firsts won 42-18 Nyngan is very hard to beat at home, to their credit they have the best crowd besides the Parkes crowd.

They are very vocal and always very hard to beat no matter where they are on the ladder, they could be leading the comp or coming last, to get a win out there you gotta earn it.” “First Grade had a good win. We were down a couple of players with Captain/ Coach Chad Porter and Sammy Dwyer out for the match. But the boys played great, the front rowers lead the way with Niko playing the first 40 minutes non stop”. Jacob Smede played well filling in at fullback for Chad, he did a great job, must have done 100 ups, Malakia Folou scored two tries on the wing and it was just a great overall effort by the whole pack.” This weekend is a home game at Pioneer Oval against competition leaders Orange Cyms who are leading the comp in all four grades so it is going to be a great day of footy.

Orange Cyms are coached by ex-NRL player Jack Buchanan who played for the Parkes Spacemen last year, and ex-NRL player Daniel Mortimer is also playing for Cyms in the halfback position. So get up to Pioneer Oval this Sunday to support the Parkes Spacemen in all four grades.
