Seven different players scored tries for the Boars during an impressive display.

Captain/coach Ronald Prince was delighted with his team’s combinations despite being so early in the campaign.

“It’s a new club, we’re rebuilding with a lot of new players and changing the culture around, so we worked a lot on our plays, not only our plays, but our camaraderie - how we train together,” he said. 

“We actually never intended on beating them. All we wanted to do was play and compete, and winning was a bonus.”

Hooker Stan Swan was in the thick of everything for the Boars, helping himself to an individual match-haul of 24 points.

Swan scored two tries and slotted eight conversions in an outstanding performance with the boot.

The Moree visitors grabbed a stranglehold of the contest in the second-half after leading 18-12 at the main break.

Fullback Tom Ryan and five-eighth Wayne Swan were among the other try-scorers, while second-rower John Lawton got through a power of work in attack and defence.

Inverell coach David Walls admitted his side ran into a red-hot Boars combination.

“Well, they were just a bit too good on the day,” Walls said. 

“We’re a bit underdone – we’ll be a bit better in a few weeks.

“We haven’t had any trials and training’s been a bit disrupted.” 

Hooker Guy Mepham scored a try and slotted three goals for the Hawks, with prop James Ballinger capping a tough forward performance by helping himself to a four-pointer.

The day began with Inverell’s 32-0 whitewash of the visitors in women's league tag.

The team was prepared to put forward a tough display, and easily toppled the 2016 Group 19 premiers.

Hawks captain Yvette Nelson said it was a pretty good start to the season.

“It’s good to see the girls gelling together like they’ve played together – when it’s our first game together,” she said.

Moree captain Shari-lee Smith felt her women played well together, despite coming onto the paddock with a nearly fresh side.

“A lot of girls haven’t played before, so I think we did pretty well,” she said. 

“We’ve just got to tighten our defence.”

The Hawks also prevailed in reserve grade 30-12 and the under-18s recorded a 54-22 victory against an undermanned Moree.
