The Tumbarumba Greens made the trip to Laurie Daley Oval, with the Diesels making clear who was in charge.
Controlling the match from the outset, Junee was able to cross the line six times, with under 18s player Cameron Hands having unerring accuracy when kicking towards the uprights.
Hands wasn't the only under 18s player in the side with Trent Field, Liam Sweeney, Lachlan Landrigan and Conner McCauley all backing up.
Captain Mark Halliburton said the players put in a big effort.
"It goes to show their club spirit and their will and desire to play first grade," he said.
Halliburton said it was a big relief for the team to register a win.
"We've lost a few close ones ... we had control of the game for most of it," he said
Junee's only poor period was the first 10 minutes of the second half and two back-to-back penalties which helped the Greens to tries.
Halliburton said the team had the ability to win games and knew what level it needed to be at to beat sides like Albury and SouthCity.
However, this weekend the focus will be solely on beating the Young Cherrypickers when they visit Laurie Daley Oval.
"We want to get a few more wins, stay away from the bottom of the ladder and finish the season on a high note," he said.
During last weekend's game against Tumbarumba, Tim Gustowski scored three tries and was voted players' player.
Halliburton also rated Moses Manu's performance and Cameron Hands who, in a sensational individual effort scored one try and six conversions..
