The Bathurst Bushrangers player and his Rams side braved wretched conditions at Southport to grind out a 6-9-45 to 3-10-28 win.

Brown and the Rams back line were put under pressure through a scrappy opening half of football to go clear of their northern rivals after the main break.

NSW ACT extended their four point lead at half-time, nullifying the Queenslanders' attack in the wet conditions.

Six different Rams goalscorers got on the score sheet for the visitors in an encouraging result for the state and teritory's junior stocks.

Brown said the team were ecstatic to prevail in a less than ideal setup.

"That was a great win for us, especially considering the conditions, and being able to win on their home ground," he said.

"Conditions were very wet at the beginning and the game started off very close. The teams are almost identical in their skills and their cleanliness around stoppages.

"It was really hard to see which team would come out ahead at first. But with a bit of perseverance and luck of the draw we came out on top."

The torrid conditions saw just a single goal kicked in the opening quarter, by NSW ACT's Marco Rossmann.

Rain arrived in the second quarter but it brought out the best in the Rams.

Jack Driscoll and Sebastian Quirk both bagged goals to take a small advantage into half-time.

Improvement continued among the Rams' ranks across the second half as Jackson Tikkeros, Pierce Roseby and Coopa Steele all kicked majors to push the NSW ACT boys clear.

Steele's fourth quarter goal was the moment NSW ACT sealed the result.

Playing out of centre half back, Brown said his side's plan to bring the ball forward along the wings as opposed to the middle worked a treat.

"We tended to use the wings a bit more because it was so wet," he said.

"You didn't really want it to get to sloppy through the middle because if you were to get a cheeky kick off the ground then the ball will slip through and go for a good 30 metres along the ground.

"Keeping it wide meant if it went out we could create a stoppage, and we have a really strong stoppage side so that worked in our favour all day."

Brown has enjoyed a breakthrough season at the top junior ranks of AFL having already been a part of the Giants Academy.

On the muddy Southport turf Brown labelled his latest game as his toughest endeavour yet.

"This is a massive step up once again," he said.

"I've now played a couple of games of NEAFL and a couple of NAB games and the intensity just builds on those.

"You've got 23 in a squad from your state playing the best 23 from another state and everything's on the line at that point."

The Rams will play Victoria Country in their second and final match of the Futures Series on August 11 at Melbourne's Ikon Park.

Brown and the Rams will go through another selection process in order to book a place in the match.
