Cobar Junior Rugby League president Simone Knight was thrilled with the club’s four wins from their five games on Saturday for Round 5 of the Dubbo & District Junior Rugby League competition.
“It was a good day to be a Rooster,” Mrs Knight told The Cobar Weekly.
The Under 10s won their game by a big margin of 50-4; the Under 11s finished as 36-26 winners; the Cobar Under 12s won their thriller of a game 18-16; and the Under 14s had a win after they received a notified forfeit from Dubbo City.
The Under 10s started the day with a fantastic 50-4 win over visitors Dubbo City.
It was a great team effort with eight team members scoring tries including Nate Martin who finished the match with a hat trick.
Cobar’s other try scorers were Mitch Allen, Tim Eves, Brandon Maguire, Jack Rogers, Zaiden Saunders, Hayden Seng and Jhett Walsh.
Also adding to their team’s tally with successful conversions were Jaxon Burke, Tim Eves, Tim McCormack, Hayden Seng and Nate Martin.

The Under 11s continued Cobar’s winning streak with their 36-26 win over Dubbo City.
The Cobar team got off to a good start to lead 12-0 before the Dubbo City side played themselves back into the match and locked the scores up at 18-all at half time.
Cobar rallied and finished as 10 point winners.
