The competition opened in Grenfell on the weekend with Woodbridge recording wins in the Opens, Under 18s, Under 16s and drawing in the under 13s.
"It shapes up for a great day of Womens Rugby League," Woodbridge coach Andrew Pull said of this weekend's matches.
On the surface, playing rugby league is about scoring tries and making big hits.
And while the Woodbridge Cup girls love doing both of those things, the 2021 Western Women Rugby League program is about much more than that - it's about "love".
Woodbridge Cup president and first-grade coach Andrew Pull was as excited as ever on Monday morning after three of the four grades produced big victories over the Mid-west Brumbies on Sunday
"All the players from all the grades have that small-town mentality and they all care about each other a lot," Pull said.
"The organisation has a lot of love... the 13s care enough to hang around for first grade and the first graders care enough to show interest in them too."
Pull's opens side ran away with a 52-0 win against the Brumbies which surprised the head coach considering how well the opposition started the contest.
"I was surprised it got out to that much because they were really physical in defence," he said.
"They probably won the physical contest - they hit so hard."
A large part of an outcome is decided through the middle of the field but games can we won and lost on the flanks and that's what the Brumbies found out in the opening round as Pull's outside backs ran riot.
