24th minute - We're up and running with the reserve grade decider between Nyngan and Dubbo CYMS. It's currently 4-0 in favour of the Fishies after a Corey Cox try.
Half time - Despite having numerous chances and a 7-4 penalty count in their favour Nyngan haven't been able to crack the CYMS defence and it's 4-0 at the break.
CYMS prop Chris Thompson wins referees player of the year and Parkes president Graeme Cole the referees appreciation and service award.
33rd minute - We're back for the second half. Another 27 minutes and the first premiers of 2013 will be known.
43rd minute - Lots of mistakes from both teams but CYMS capitalise with Rob Ryan pouncing on a grubber kick. Corey Cox lands the conversion and it's 10-0 to CYMS.
48th minute - Time is running out for Nyngan here. They need to get on the scoreboard shortly if they're going to be a chance.
54th minute - Nyngan have bombed two tries in recent minutes, still 10-0 to CYMS with six minutes to go.
57th minute - The Tigers have coughed up the ball, CYMS should just run the clock out now. A bit unlucky for Nyngan who were probably the better side but couldn't capitalise on opportunities.
Full time - An emotional win for CYMS, who take out the 2013 reserve grade premiership 10-0. Kudos to the supporters of Nyngan though, they've been great this season.
After the presentation of the reserve grade trophy we're no on to the under-18s match between Dubbo Macquarie and Dubbo CYMS - can the Fishies continue their march towards all three Group 11 premierships? They last achieved the feat in 1971.
UNDER 18S:
18th minute - The under-18s is proving to be a good clash. A converted try to Warren Dodd and a four-pointer to Tom Field has Macquarie in front 6-4.
20th minute - Ben Marlin crosses for the Fishies, converted by Kaide Rapley and it's 10-6 to CYMS
22nd minute - Marshall Sing over next to the posts and after a slow start, CYMS are starting to look very good. James Thiel converts and its 16-6 with eight to go before half-time.
48th minute - This has turned into a bloodbath with CYMS seemingly scoring at will. It's now 44-6 to CYMS over the Fishies. While we were away Justin Toomey-White won the Group 11 player of the year award.
53rd minute - Kenny Knight over for Macquarie but it's purely a consolation as the Raiders trail 44-12 with seven to go.
57th minute - Jayden Merritt over for Macquarie - it means very little though as this one was over a long time ago. Warren Dodd's conversion makes it 44-18. CYMS are now 80 minutes from history but they'll have to earn it against a strong Parkes side.
59th minute - Fisticuffs explodes and Macquarie's Shaq Gordon and Jordi Holmes, and CYMS pair Ben Marlin and Brayden Carney have all been sent off.
Full-time - CYMS are under-18 premiers thanks to a 44-18 win over Dubbo Macquarie. Fishies lock Billy Sing named player of the year and player of the grand final.
After a performance by the Twinkle Toe Dance Studio and the national anthem from Jason Owen we will be underway in the 2013 Tooheys New Group 11 first grade grand final.
FIRST GRADE:
1st minute - We're off in the 2013 first grade grand final. Stay with us and we'll try to keep you as up to date as possible.
6th minute - CYMS denied a try when a Blake Tremain-Cannon pass to Ryan Marlin is called forward. Marlin ran a great line though and already looks dangerous.
11th minute - Still no score, good start to the match by both sides.
13th minute - Josh Hook over in the corner off a Dennis Moran pass and it's the Spacemen who will play from in front. Chad Porter kick hits the upright and bounces back. It's 4-0 to the Spacies.
19th minute - CYMS fail to find touch from a penalty and three tackles later Jordan Pope crosses. Chad Porter's goal gives Parkes a 10-0 lead.
27th minute - CYMS on the board through Daryl Cubby, who missed last week's preliminary final. Luke Jenkins converts and it's 10-6 to Parkes.
36th minute - Wowee....Luke Jenkins has just slipped one of the sweetest inside balls you'll ever see, puts Blake Tremain-Cannon over and with the Jenkins conversion it's 12-10 to CYMS approaching half-time. The Fishies may be half an hour from history.
40th minute - Parkes launched a late attacking raid down the sideline but it was thwarted and it's 12-10 to CYMS at half-time.
After an enthralling first half with plenty of good play Dubbo CYMS lead 12-10. Currently watching the youngsters kick their footballs around Apex Oval. Meanwhile down in Orange, in the Group 10 local derby grand final it is Orange CYMS leading Orange Hawks 16-4.
41st minute - Back underway here, look forward to a big final 40 minutes of the footy season.
44th minute - CYMS have had a good chance early through Jarryn Powyer making a break but no addition to the score.
48th minute - Chad Porter steps inside after receiving a beautiful Dennis Moran pass and scores. Porter converts his own try and it's 16-12 to Parkes.
52nd minute - Kieran Shipp horse collars Jake Dooley and stops a certain Parkes try, but then gives up the penalty. Dooley leaves the fieldwith a leg injury. Spacies are on the attack but then knock it on.
55th minute - Gate takings here today officially announced as being $22,857. Still no change to score, it's 16-12 to Parkes.
60th minute - Twenty to go and the Spacies have just coughed up possession. CYMS have a chance 30m out from the line. Pat Rosser has been enormous for the Spacemen today.
65th minute - Some breathing space for the Spacemen, with Brandon Paige scoring right in the corner. Porter converts and it's 22-12 Parkes with 15 to go.
68th minute - Chad Porter nails a penalty goal which gives the Spacemen a 24-12 lead with 12 to go.
70th minute - It's over, I'm calling it. Pat Rosser makes a bust, passes inside to his best mate Dennis Moran and Porter's goal makes it 30-12 to Parkes.
74th minute - Prediction time...the Bob Weir Medallist should be either Pat Rosser or Chad Porter. Both have been outstanding.
Full-time - A late Daryl Cubby try is merely a consolation as Parkes win 30-18. Well done Spacemen. Chad Porter named as Bob Weir Medallist and quite deservedly so.
That's it from Apex Oval on a brilliant day of Group 11 rugby league. Congratulations to the Dubbo CYMS under-18s and reserve grade sides, and the Parkes first grade side, for taking out this year's premierships.
