The boys continued their strong history in the AFL NSW/ACT Primary Schools Championships with a 34-5 semi final victory against South Wagga Public School.

They will take on Sacred Heart Primary School in the decider, who qualified for a rare final with a 19-16 victory against The Riverina Anglican College.

In the girls Mater Dei was too strong for Henschke Primary School 29-13. They will take on Kooringal Public School after they accounted for The Riverina Anglican College 40-19.

The finals will be held on May 25 at Robertson Oval, with the winners to advance to the Southern NSW regional finals at Griffith mid-year.

Around 550 players and 35 teams competed in the carnival, and AFL NSW/ACT development boss Che Jenkins was rapt with the result.

"It's great to see a different school in Sacred Heart make the final, they'll be rapt with that, and it's a fantastic participation and introductory day," he said.

"We want to engage the kids in the game and hopefully a lot of the the boys and girls who don't normally play club footy transition across to that."
