SEASON-opening Camden and Narellan clash delivered with the Jets grabbing a 30-20 victory.

The  highly anticipated Country Rugby League Group 6 season-opening clash between Camden and Narellan delivered with the Jets grabbing a 30-20 victory in a nailbiting finish.

More than 1000 fans at Crane Oval saw former South Sydney Rabbitohs winger Matt King line up for Narellan against former Wests ­Tigers prop Ray Cashmere.

The Rams went into the break with a 10-8 lead and Cashmere consolidated the lead early in the second half with a try taking Camden to an eight-point lead. The Jets pulled it back with tries to Josh Graham and Ben Baker giving them a 20-16 lead with 20 minutes remaining, but Mick Wright levelled the scores for Camden to develop a grandstand finish.

To add to the drama, both sides had a player sin-binned and Narellan’s Zac Burke scored his second try for the night and gave the Jets a six-point lead, before Narellan dealt the killer blow with a final try.

“I enjoyed playing in front of a healthy crowd and the atmosphere was great to be a part of,” King said.
