A blunder with the Town Oval sprinkler system meant the playing surface was wet underfoot and kept the scores low in some matches.
Grand final day kicked-off with the under 6 Cowboys and Raiders slugging it out to finish with a thrilling 16-all draw.
Flynn Thornley, Darcy McWhirter, Angus Jennings, Knox Higgins, Charlise Fitzgerald and Max Whitehouse all scored tries while Nate Duggan scored two.
