The Orange/Forbes under 12's and 14's stormed home to record two strong wins on Saturday against Dubbo at the South Dubbo Oval.
The Swamp Tigers under 12's are now 2-1, while the 14's are 3-0 after defeating Dubbo and banking a third consecutive win.
The Swamp Tigers under 14's were the best team for most of the game. At times early on in the match the door was ajar for Dubbo but the Orange/Forbes defence was too strong while the forward line was accurate and was able to give the Swamp Tigers a good lead at half time.

The 14's kicked away in the third and fourth quarters to put the game to bed and take the win 12.10 (82) to 4.3 (27). Zain Clark put in another strong performance to be voted best on ground.
Seven days after being stunned by a depleted Bathurst Giants outfit in a fourth-quarter onslaught that saw the Giants kick twenty-two points to none to record a come-from-behind victory, the Orange/Forbes under 12's produced a determined and controlled response.
The Swamp Tigers led by a two kicks at quarter-time and then kicked the first three goals of the second quarter to open up a significant lead, looking unstoppable when the forwards kicked two goals in two-and-a-half minutes.
Orange/Forbes had all the momentum though Dubbo managed to kick two goals against the run of play in the third quarter, but despite that the Swamp Tigers were seldom troubled and took the win 10.14 (74) to 3.1 (19).
Max Ridge continued his impressive debut year while Jackson Beaudin was active in the mid-field kicking 2 behinds.
In the other games the Orange Youth Girls received a forfeit from Dubbo due to several Dubbo players coming down with illness, while the Orange under 17's took their first victory over Dubbo ever winning 7.3.(45) to 5.13.(43) in a classic.
The next round's games are against the Bathurst Giants in Orange.
