Magpies captain and new father Rhys Duncan’s return heralded three tries but it wasn’t enough to stop a determined Rams outfit.

Despite being short a few players, Walcha  put in a spirited second-half comeback to register its fourth win for the season.

Walcha captain and flyhalf Simon Newton took control of the game late and saw the Rams home with a great pass to instigate Churchill’s second.
