The Boars women played an understrength side from CSU, giving Parkes a huge win on Saturday. CSU didn’t have numbers, so Parkes Boars ladies joined the CSU team so the match could go ahead.
It was a strong game from Maely Mcgregor with one try and Natalie Caruana with three tries. Teegan Smead scored three tries and kicked six conversions. Congratulations to the Parkes girls 52 to CSU 7.
