Port Macquarie had a successful opening day of the tournament with the Makos only suffering eight losses across their 10 divisions.

The under-10 boys went through undefeated, scoring 19 tries in the process and not conceding a single try in three matches.

The under-10 girls registered four wins from four starts, including an 8-0 belting of Nelson Bay.

Warren Lorger's under-12 boys were also four from four on day one with an impressive 13-0 hammering of Muswellbrook their standout performance.

The Makos under-12 girls have some work to do on day two after going down in all three of their matches.

The under-14 boys also have some ground to make up on the second day after winning just one of their first four matches.

The under-14 girls split their matches straight down the middle with two wins and two losses on day one.

The under-16 boys and girls claimed two and three wins to sit at the top of the table.

Only percentages separates the under-16 boys from Nelson Bay who edge top spot.

The Makos under-18 girls also sit at the top of Pool B after an impressive three wins from three starts.

The under-18 boys registered a win and a draw on the opening day.

The winners from the two conferences will play off in the NSW Junior State Cup Final series at Wollongong on April 27 and 28.

A mammoth 438 teams in total (198 in the south and 240 in the north) will all vie for their spot in the finals – an increase of 81 teams from last year.

Three of Port Macquarie’s 10 teams are in form following their under-10 girls, under-16 boys and under-18 boys wins in the Northern Eagles championships in Taree last month.
