It wasn't Western Rams' day on Sunday as Parkes hosted two of the junior rugby league rep games at Pioneer Oval.
But the regional sides in the Under 16s and Under 18s went down swinging, putting on a show against Macarthur West Tigers.
While there were no Parkes players in either teams, there were two from Condobolin - Nate Vincent in the 16s and Zane Saunders in the 18s who plays for Parkes.
There was also Nate Martin from Cobar, who is a full-time boarder at Red Bend Catholic College.
Kicking off at 10am, it was a tough first half for Western's 16s who went into the break down 30-nil.
