The day marked a particular charity effort for the teams, with proceeds from the day going to Nguumbay Leeton. Nguumbay distributes food and necessities to those in need, and is run by Leeton Community Care Development Inc.
Leeton president John Hill was happy with how the day panned out.
"We had two really good games of rugby," he said.
"Unfortunately, the men went down by one point, but it was a really good entertaining game, and the women went down as well.
"It was supported with a pretty good crowd, and from a charity perspective, I think it was a pretty successful day."

In third grade, Phantoms' Tamaki Kohere scored one of his side's two tries, and while they scored one more try than the Blacks, the two penalty goals from Teei Piawi saw the Blacks come away with an 11-10 victory.
The third-grade side will again have the bye this weekend before they return to action in three weeks time when they take on when they head to Wagga to take on City.
It was another tough hit out for the Dianas when they took the undefeated Blacks side, who took a 42-0 victory.
The ladies side will head to Albury this weekend to take on the Steamers, with Hill confirming the clash was still on after the Albury games last weekend didn't go ahead due to Victorian restrictions.
"I have had an email from the Albury president that the game would still be going ahead," he said.
