Regardless of the result, all players were simply happy to be back on the field.

The two under 7s Warrior teams faced one another, resulting in an entertaining match.

A new look under 14s Warriors team came up against a tough Port Kembla team.

The game, going try for try, saw Port Kembla lead the game early.

But the Warriors, featuring seven new players, scored two quick tries in the second half to run out winners 22-12.
