A win by the Cobar Roosters Under 18s side over Binnaway on Saturday promoted the Roosters to second spot on the Castlereagh Youth League ladder.
The Cobar side snatched a narrow 24-20 victory at Binnaway with Tadgh McMullen scoring the winning try just three minutes before the full time siren.
Cobar coach Paul Sullivan said it was a close, tight match throughout with the scores locked at 10-all at half time.
“Binnaway have a real good side and I thought they might have beaten us,” Sullivan said.
“But our boys hung on for the win.”
Tadgh McMullen led the try scoring for Cobar with two tries with Kai Taylor, Tommy Bryan and Oisin McMullen also crossing for a try each.
Bryan and Coonabarabran import, Zane Jenner, kicked a goal each.
Sullivan said 16 year old Jenner was a great boost for the side and was warmly welcomed by the Cobar team on Saturday after he’d received clearance from Country Rugby League to play.
Gulgong and Cobar both have 13 points with Gulgong on top having a better for and against ratio.
Narromine is just behind in third place on 11 points after they lost to Gulgong last week.
