Bathurst claimed the final tie on Thursday afternoon, winning 471-329.
The two schools split the sports on day one although Bathurst held a 120-point lead overnight before the second day of play in Dubbo.
Athletics was split 50-50 because Barden Park was unavailable, while Bathurst claimed a 1-0 win the girls’ soccer. The boys’ soccer finished a 0-0 draw.
Dubbo claimed bragging rights in an entertaining game of rugby league though, winning 20-16 over the powerful Bathurst side.
“It was tough and a great game of footy,” Dubbo coach Craig May said.
“It was very competitive between two great sides. It was really top notch stuff.”
