In winning for only the second time this season, Werris Creek will now look to beat the Cowboys at Dungowan on Saturday and give themselves serious momentum heading into the second half of the season.

Narrabri, who led 16-8 at the break, suffered their third loss of the season.

Tickle said his No 7, Harlee Millgate, was "great".

"But he's been great all year," Tickle added. "His kicking game was outstanding [on Sunday]."
