Rachel Coles was voted players’ player just ahead of Taylor Waters, while the coaches points went to Sharnie Cullen, Richardson and skipper Britt Youman.
The club points were shared among Sophie Gaukroger, Rhylee Adams and Youman.
The men’s game started in similar fashion with Guyra going toe to toe with the Rangs.
It was 4-all after Jake Deaves barged over from a penalty tap on is Spuds debut.
Two quick Moree tries ruined the good start for Guyra and there was another before the break to make it 22-4.
The Boomies ran away with it in the second half but Russell Burnham took advantage of a loose ball from a kick to get one back for the Spuds.It finished 44-10.
Cody Clarke stood up to the physical Rangs and earned the players’ player award, as well as three points from the coach and the club.
Other individual point scorers included Beau Orchard, James Deaves and Lachie Williamson, while Jake Deaves, Bryce Johnson and captain Tommy Cleaver also put their bodies on the line.
Guyra’s next game is an away trip to Inverell in two weeks.
