Taking on the Tingha Tigers, the Spuds men rounded out a good day on and off-the-field with an 88-6 triumph.
Donning one-off charity jerseys for the Guyra branch of the Volunteer Rescue Association, the Spuds put on a near perfect performance against the Tigers.
President Grant Robertson said everything went to plan.
"That was one of Guyra's best performances in A grade that I've seen - no exaggeration," he said.
"They were right on their game, which is pretty good going considering it was round one.
"There were very few mistakes, they supported the ball carrier well, the passes stuck and they kept to the task throughout. It was very impressive and will be hard to repeat."
The day began with the under 18 fixture, which was changed to eight-a-side due to a shortage of Tingha players.

The Spuds romped home 50-22.
Then the league tag game between the defending premiers and the returning Spuds saw the Tigers win 32-8.
Following the matches, the Super Spuds auctioned their jerseys for $6,280 for the Guyra branch of the Volunteer Rescue Association.
Round two will see the Super Spuds back in Guyra against Uralla-Walcha.
The TigerRoos are coming off a 34-14 loss to the Glen Innes Magpies.
Robertson expects the visitors to turn up.
"Uralla-Walcha won't be easy beats," he said.
"They have some seasoned players from both towns in their side.
"The last time we played Uralla was the 2018 major semi final in the second division and it was one of the best games I've ever seen.
"They played 17 minutes of extra time before we won.
"If it's anything like that this Saturday it will be a belter.
"We have some injuries so that will make the job harder, but Saturday's big win has the boys buzzing."
