Dominant win for Magpies

The Magpies tallied up 14 tries, with Ricky Whitton successfully kicking six conversions.

With the victory, the Magpies have found themselves sitting at the top of the Woodbridge Cup ladder, with the Canowindra Tigers trailing closely behind in second place.

Coach Phil Ingram expressed his pride at the team's performance, stating, "I was pretty happy with the boys on the weekend".

Ingram commended the team's ability to maintain control of the ball throughout the game, emphasising the importance of disciplined play in securing decisive wins.

"We controlled the ball really well and just proved to ourselves that when we do control the ball we can achieve some good wins," he said.

"We were applying pressure to Grenfell and going through them, which was really good."

The Magpies' execution on the field was evident from the outset, with Ingram noting, "we scored within the first five minutes".

"We set ourselves the goal to not lose any home games and we showed up switched on for the weekend," he said.

He credited the team's forwards for laying the foundation for their success, allowing the backs to capitalise on scoring opportunities as well as highlighted standout performances from some players.

"Simon had some really strong runs and scored the first three tries of the game, our centre Daniel had a really good game and ended up with four tries, and Morea our winger ended up with four tries as well," he said.

"But it was our forwards that lead the way to give them boys the opportunities to put the ball down."

Looking ahead to future challenges, Ingram emphasised the importance of maintaining discipline and composure on the field.

"We've gotta worry more about beating them on the scoreboard and not go too far defending our teammates," he said.

"It did get a bit nippy throughout the game, and it just came down to our discipline and not biting into that."

Injuries didn't impact the Magpies last weekend, but there had still been a few moments of concern.

"There were a couple knocks and eye shots throughout the games but with those sort of things we want to be able to come out of it unscathed, which we did," Ingram said.

With the new week, the Magpies could see some familiar faces returning, though some players are still not yet ready to come back on the field just yet.

"Kyle Kemp injured himself through training, his return is looking good in the upcoming weeks," Ingram said.

He isn't worried about injuries though, as players like Jack Harper and Tyler Nobes are able run onto the field and adjust to whatever position they've been told to play in.

"Tyler Nobes and Jack Harper have been my sort of Mr-Fix-It players, they're able to get in there and have a red hot go wherever I put them in," he said.

"Tyler was probably one of the standouts this weekend."

"And no matter where Jack goes, he turns up for his teammates and is able to do what's needed," he said

Coming up against Eugowra Golden Eagles this Saturday on the Eugowra Sports Ground at 3pm, Ingram acknowledged the need for continued focus and intensity.

"Their crowd really gets behind them and supports them, so we have to match their energy," he said.

"We want to kick down the front door down instead of going around them."

So far, the Magpies have been reaching their season goals.

"I set a goal for ourselves that in the first month we win two or three games, and we've done that," Ingram said

"Hopefully we can get another victory in Eugowra and end this first month of the competition on a high."
