After the preliminary rounds were held earlier in the year it was the business end of the two annual competitions and the players didn't disappoint with some exciting play on offer.
Orange's St Mary's Primary School was crowned winners of the Peachey Shield while it was St Raphael's of Cowra who took out the Richardson Cup.
While there was plenty of action on the field there was also plenty of fun for the kids off it with three former NRL stars in attendance.
Alan Tongue, John Morris and Josh Perry were all eager spectators as they fulfilled their NRL Ambassador roles and delighted the children as they posed for photos and chatted with the youngsters after the matches.
While St Mary's and St Raphael's savoured their wins there were also plenty of individual awards given out.
Best and fairest in the Peachey Shield went to Jock Redden, Jai Siakison, Toby Smith, Noah Ryan and Cody Crsip while Jermain McEwen, Hamish Beveridge, Jayden Williams, Jesse Simons, Napoleon Sipendi, Blake Goldspink and Jack Walkom were the best in the Richardson Cup.
With plenty happening around the grounds, Daily Liberal photographer Louise Donges was on hand to capture these great moments.
