In the hotly contested grand finals, Trinity Anglican College defeated St Patricks in the girls competition, while St Patricks will meet Holy Spirit School under lights at the Lavington Sports Ground on June 14 in the boys grand final.
AFL NSW development coordinator Jack Bradley said the competition was getting stronger every year.
“It’s fantastic to see the girls getting more enthusiastic and skillful each and every year,” Bradley said.
“There were great conditions for footy on Tuesday and a fun day was had by all involved.”
Xavier High School and Albury High School provided umpires for the day, while Lavington Auskick provided canteen services.
Roughly 10,000 students from across the state compete in the Cup every year.
The tournament uses 12 players a side and a modified ruleset, with winners progressing to regional and state finals.
