Honours were shared around on grand final day, with the St John's club taking home three titles while South Dubbo, Nyngan and Narromine all tasted success as well.
The Narromine Jets under 14s were beaten 22-12 by St Johns but took out the under-16s decider 36-12.
Dubbo Junior Rugby president Neil Millgate admitted the result were a perfect example of what junior league officials are trying to accomplish with their programs.
"We've put a lot of effort into trying to link our junior clubs with senior clubs and you can why with the success that St John's had in having five teams involved on Saturday, and CYMS having three teams playing in the Group 11 grand finals this Sunday," he said.
"Having Narromine building a strong junior league and winning the under-16s will hopefully filter through to their senior club and have a flow-on effect.
"The hope is some of those kids will move into the Narromine under-18s side next year.
"They're senior club has done things a bit tough over the past couple of years but they have good kids coming through that will hopefully be the future of their club."
While the under-13s match was a blowout, with St John's winning 44-0 the remainder of the matches were reasonably close, with three of the grand finals decided by just four points.
Millgate said the season ended on a high note, with good football played across all of the age groups.
"The standard was high right across the day, even down in the under-10s and under-11s," Millgate said.
"There was a good crowd up there to watch and I think that atmosphere really lifts the kids and with the weather the way it was that encouraged some really good play."
Play was halted during the under-13s grand final between St John's and South Dubbo when a player had to be taken from the field with a dislocated hip, but that was the only downside to an otherwise great day.
"Everyone felt bad for the young fella that got hurt and hopefully he recovers well. Nobody likes to see those kinds of things happen," Millgate said.
"That was the only real injury concern we had for the day. It was good that most of the players were able to play good, hard, fair football and enjoy the day."
Narromine was beaten 22-12 by St Johns in the under-14s but took out the under-16s decider 36-12, with Millgate admitting the result was a perfect example of what junior league officials are trying to accomplish with their programs.
