Junior footballers from across the Picola League district converged on Yarroweyah on Saturday for the annual interleague competition.
A league wide bye in the Picola & District Football Netball season allowed for the competitions to go ahead.
Due to team numbers across the under-14s and under-17s competition, two representative squads were filled for each age group.
Using geographical lines, the North teams consisted of players from the Strathmerton, Yarroweyah, Picola United, Mathoura, Blighty, Tocumwal, Berrigan, Jerilderie and Deni Rovers clubs.
South’s sides were made up using players from clubs in Katandra, Katunga, Katamatite, Rennie, Tungamah and Waaia.
The Deni Rovers had representatives selected in both age groups - Dannon Leetham, Sam Conallin, Bentley Hardman, Callan Glenn and Tom Way in the under-14s and Alex Harvey, Luke Holloway, Andrew Croker and Andrew Smith in the under-17s.
Two Mathoura players were also selected in the under-17s - Jackson Jones and Digby Newman.
