Oliver Pritchard and Hunta Saunders were selected from the Dungog team to play in the invitational competition at Ashtonfield on April 8.
Fellow player Broc Hunt was also selected but was unable to play due to state swimming commitments in Sydney at the same time.
Oliver’s father Shane said it was a one-off game with players selected from each Hunter Valley club.
“The boys, who both came off the bench, had a great game,” Shane said.
“Hunta played front/second row while Oliver was hooker and half back.
“They had a great win, beating Ipswich 56-0.”
Both boys have been playing league for Dungog for five years.
