This was the first game of the winter competition for the team and the six weeks of pre-season training paid off for the players.
The team demonstrated their skills in the 10th minute, showing some great ball work from the backs and midfield, Hayley Altmann recieved the ball and put it into the goal, making the score one to nil.
Altmann repeated this five minutes later to take it up to two to none.
During the rest of the half the ball was going from one end to the other with South Dubbo Wanderers and Narromine both having chances to score but goalkeeper Kristen Clark made some great saves to keep the score at two-nil at the half time buzzer.
"I didn't have much to say at the half-time break except to say keep playing like you have been," coach Jason Poulson said.
The second half started with only one change to the team, Altmann went into the keeper position and Kristen Clark had a run in the strikers position.
The second half started like the first, at five minutes in Tori Durazza scored with a great strike making it three nil.
Kristen Clark scored with some great lead up work by the left midfielder Megan Buckley to make it four to nil.
"It stayed that way for the next 20 minutes thanks to some great defence by Kristie Silk, Caitlin Poulson, Tristan Penson and Maddi Jones," Mr Pouslon said.
At the 70th mionute the tean's newest recruit and soccer rookie, Tianna Collison, made a great goal, taking the score up to five nil to Narromine.
Mr Poulson was very proud of his team.
"Ash Seymour and Belinda Blacket also had a great game in the midfield. The girls played really well considering they didn't have any substitutions," he said.
The team is still looking for players, so anyone 16 years and over are encouraged to attend training at 6.30pm on Wednesday nights at Payten Oval.
The team also wanted to thank their sponsors; The Royal Hotel, Brenno's Hotbake, Short Butchers, Narromine Auto Spares and Reports, WJ Treseder and Co., McPhersons Automotive and Narromine Smash Repairs.
