Despite only having seven players, and no reserves, the side managed to post a try in its 20-4 loss to neighbouring Muswellbrook.

Earlier in proceedings, Singleton defeated Merriwa 14-0 and Muswellbrook claimed the spoils from Aberdeen 18-0.

Unfortunately, Greta-Branxton withdrew from the format, leaving five teams to fight it out over the next month.

Round two continues this Friday, February 10, from 6pm at Denman.
