From all reports, the girls in the league tag and the boys in the rugby league played out of their skins and did the whole school proud.
The carnival as a whole was also well received by all involved according to NRL South West NSW game development officer Andrew Herbert.
“It was good, real good,” Herbert said.
“There wasn’t really any major injuries, the day was enjoyed by parents, schools and the kids themselves as well.
“That’s the aim of the day – to give everyone a positive experience.”
Former Canberra Raider Terry Campese was also present on the day to jump in photos and chat to the kids and the adults.
Campese is in the region running clinics for local coaches.
The last session will be held tonight at EW Moore Oval from 6pm.
It is free and anyone is welcome to attend.
“Alan Tongue came out last year and did a similar thing and Terry’s doing it this year,” Herbert said.
“He has lots of knowledge, experience in a coaching role himself and is just putting back into the local communities.
“He’ll have some ideas to help coaches do things better and help out if they are having any issues.”
