Darlington Point Coleambally (DPC) Roosters and Hay Magpies have taken out the first and reserve grade major semi finals to leap frog straight into the Group 20 grand final in two week's time.

How the games unrolled

Unlike Saturday's extra-time matches, both Hay and DPC posted comfortable, albeit hard-fought wins at Darlington Point Sportsground today.

The first grade match was a grinding affair, with the Rooster's Tom Fattore crossing first, on the back of speedy pressure by Luke Hogan.

For DPC Guy Thompson was punishing and Jonathon Huggett persisted his way across the line three times.

The speed of Waratahs Ulukaulupe Akolo and Linsay Maiava created opportunities and both contributed points to the Griffith side's tally.

In the end it was the Roosters second half that saw them progress straight into the grand final, as Waratahs fatigued and errors plagued them

Final score: DPC Roosters 40 defeated Griffith Waratahs 26

In the reserve grade match Hay Magpies played a clinical determined style of play to account for DPC Roosters at their own home ground.

From a 20 to 6 half-time score, the Magpies rolled their hosts, playing a shutout second half.

Shayne Kennedy played his best game of the season, in a match where is was hard to choose the best players.

Backing up from Saturday's first grade semi final match winner, Patty Miller scored the game's opening try.

For DPC, powerful centre Ratu Veibuli was their only try-scorer, following a break and 60 metre run from defenders.

Final score: Hay Magpies 32 defeated DPC Roosters 6.

In an upset Hay Magpies also accounted for Griffith Waratahs in the women's tackle match.

Despite being outsized, the Hay side proved their worth, delivering solid defence throughout, conceding just a single try.

As the Magpies piled on the tries only second rower Una Baudromo was able to cross for the Waratahs.

Hay was best served by Noa Magliochetti, Larissa Sorensen and Lily Weymouth, who sustained facial injuries in the physical clash.

Final score: Hay Magpies 22 defeated Griffith Waratahs 4.

In the under 16s curtain raiser Black & White 16 defeated Leeton 6, and in the high-scoring excitement of the under 18s TLU Sharks 38 defeated Leeton 24.
