Parkes 18s bow out of premiership race

The season is over for Parkes Rugby League's juniors after a loss in the grand final qualifier.

On Sunday September 1 Parkes Spacemen Under 18’s played Dubbo Cyms in the second Grand Final qualifier at Jock Colley Field Parkes.

Parkes entered the field a determined young team having played a very competitive and successful 2024 season for a side that almost did not form due to player shortage.

A big thank you goes out to the half dozen juniors for stepping up and playing this year also to the older players for having the confidence to support them.

We are very proud of Brent Woods for coaching the young Spacemen side and congratulate them for their achievements and commitment for 2024.

On the day Dubbo CYMS were a very polished side and had control of the game from the very start.

CYMS went over the line seven times with Nate Bayliss having a terrific match scoring 3 tries, Noah Sutcliffe 2, Cooper Townsend and Alexander Maas 1 each.

Alexander Maas kicked 3 goals from 7 attempts.

Parkes managed to score 1 try by Jack Milne who has been part of the foundation for Parkes this year, Ryan Goodsell also part of the backbone of the Spacemen converted the try.

The final score Dubbo Cyms 34 defeating Parkes Spacemen 6.
