In addition to being a Round 10 clash, the two teams contest the Frank Fiamara Cup whenever they play their local derby. Yanco retain the Cup they won earlier this season.
Leeton led 12-0 at half-time, but Yanco stormed back early in the second stanza to level the scores at 12all. The match remained tight throughout but Yanco-Wamoon edged their neighbours in the end.

The much needed first grade win lifts Yanco-Wamoon to 11 points. They remain sixth place, just behind West Wyalong Mallee Men, who stay on 12 points after losing narrowly to Tullibigeal Lake Cargelligo.
Leeton remain seventh on 8 points.
