The Blueheelers made a fast start to the game and were able to get the first two tries, with Raymond Halaapiapi getting over in the corner before Elvis Nauer-Wood was able to break the line before sending Salesi Fatafehii into a gap to score.
Leeton was able to hit back just before halftime as, after deciding to run the ball on the final tackle, Tyler O'Connell put Noah Maybon over in the corner to see Yenda leading 10-6 at the break.
It was a back and forth start to the second half with Christian Mamafainoa getting over for Yenda before two tries in quick succession to Blake McDonald gave Leeton the lead.
