At the top of the bunch are the Narwan girls who finished with two wins from their two matches on Saturday.
They took on Ashford first up to claim an 18-nil win before facing a talented Moree Boomerangs outfit.
The clash with the Boomerangs was a hard-fought battle but the Narwan side managed to clinch a 14-nil triumph.
Peter Moran has taken on coaching young squad but said his job is pretty easy with a huge amount of talent among the group, who have played league tag together.

“Watching through the year I had an idea of who to grab, with Kasey [Gaukroger] and Tori [Brazier], my girl [Kayla Kim] played a lot of football with them through school,” he said.
“I had her [Tori] and my girl [Kayla] at half and five-eighth, they have played there together before and have a real good understanding [of each other], especially with Kasey Gaukroger, she is a really good footballer too.”
There was limited experience at playing tackle rugby league among the side but Moran said they held their own.
“Playing tackle football too, they didn't go missing or anything, it was like they had played before,” he said.
“They knew what it was all about with the contact.
“They have a really good, young side.
“We have got a lot of speed in our side and a lot of the sides couldn't handle [it].”
