The four Kempsey Cannonbells players enjoy the experience and contributed to the Tomahawks creating history at the tournament.
The side suffered a heartbreaking 12-7 loss in controversial circumstances to start the competition.
The Tomahawks barged over their way over the line after the full-time siren but the referee ruled the play didn't result in a try.
A try would have levelled the scores and given the Tomahawks an opportunity to claim victory with a conversion.
The four Macleay girls dusted themselves off and put their disappointment aside to bounce back against the Hunter region later that day.
The side defeated Hunter 22-5 in the representative side's first win over their rivals from the south.
The Tomahawks were scheduled to play Illawarra on Sunday but their opponents were forced to forfeit due to injury.
On the back of her strong performances for Mid North Coast, Imeleta Tavete was named the Tomahawks Player of the Year.
The prop forward was in her second year of representing the Mid North Coast at the NSW Country Championships and she has a strong passion and love for rugby.
Unfortunately no Cannonbelles players earned selection to the next level.
