Ahren's Cup: Walgett 12 def Nyngan 0

Far from the result that was expected, a wet track and some finals pressure almost undid the Rams on Saturday.

The defending premiers Nyngan put up a good fight, but by all accounts, Walgett controlled the game from start to finish - they just couldn’t find the final pass to grab points!

A complete deadlock only until the final moments, Walgett's Jade Dunbar would crash over for the game's opening points with just seven minutes to go.

Any slight chance of a Nyngan fightback was quickly snuffed out, and on the final play of the game, Sam Sharpley grabbed Walgett's second try to win the game 12-0.

Walgett now takes on the loser of Gulargambone and Coonamble in their major semi for a chance to play in the grand final.

Due to the scheduling, they will also be watching the first-grade fixture quite closely to see whether their prelim in a fortnight will be at home in Walgett or over at Nyngan.

Elders First Grade: Warren 29 def Brewarrina-Bourke 8

Warren were never going to make the same mistakes twice after last week's draw to Bre-Bourke at home.

This time around, they controlled the game from the get-go.

Early possession was rewarded when Hooker Oliver Ferrari crossed over in the tenth minute to open the scoring.

Bre-Bourke fired back through Sam Willoughby who slotted a penalty goal to bring the scores back to 3-7.

But from then on it was pretty smooth sailing for Warren.

Two more Warren tries in the first half to Stuart McLean (26') and Dave Jenkins (33') tested Bre-Bourke's discipline, and sadly they fell into a habit of the occasional late shot.

Warren's Hagan Size pushed a penalty goal over to open the second half, extending Warren's lead out to 22-3, and a final try to Jack Kelly (64') all but sealed a Puma win, leading 29-3 with fifteen minutes to go.

A try on the bell for Barbarian Ben Orcher put the game back to 8-29 but it was too little too late for the Bre-Bourke side, who find themselves knocked out in week one for the third year running.

Warren now takes on the loser of Nyngan and Walgett in their major semi for a spot in the grand final.
