The Harden Red Devils made the journey to West Wyalong yesterday for a tough and physical contest on the footy field.
With just 15 men, the Devils knew they were in for a hard slog - and they rose to the occasion.
A lightning start saw Harden jump ahead 7-0, then extend their lead to 14-0.
But West Wyalong weren’t going to roll over.
A well-executed try down the sideline saw the home team close the gap to 14-5 at halftime.

The second half was all grit and determination.
The Harden back row - Nick Alcorn, Oliver Fairfield-Smith, and Luke Thorsby - each took a 10-minute breather in the sin bin at various points, leaving the Devils down to 13 men at one stage.
But even then, Harden managed to cross the line, showing impressive composure and fight.
The Devils’ defensive line held firm, conceding only one try in the second half, and finishing the game with a strong 29-10 win.
A special shoutout to Toby Hayden, who turned up thinking he’d play 10–20 minutes with his brother, but ended up putting in a full 80-minute shift - legendary stuff!
Huge thanks to West Wyalong for their warm hospitality, and all the best for the rest of your season.

3 – Joe Stewart
