The Tenterfield Tigers clashed with the Warialda Wombats for Old Boys' Day in league tag and men's and both games were decided in the dying minutes.
The Tigers league tag team needed to win to guarantee a spot in the semi-finals and Warialda were trying to avoid snaring the wooden spoon.
Tenterfield left it until late to pull off the victory with a try in the dying stages of the match.
They finished with a 14-12 win and booked a minor semi-final berth against the Walcha Jillaroos in Ashford this Saturday.
League tag player-coach Megg Landers wasn't available to wrap up the game but men's player-coach Jake Kelly said they deserved to earn a spot in the finals and the club is proud to have a team to cheer on.
"I think there was two points in their game. They scored right at the end and it was good for them because I think they had to win to make the semis," he said.
"Definitely a good result for them and the club.
"One team will be playing in the semis.
"I think there will be a few of them [men's] who will go and support the girls this weekend in their semi-final which is good for them."
The men's match was equally as exciting.
The Tigers haven't had the most successful of seasons and finished with the wooden spoon.
They were aiming to finish their season strong but had the tough assignment of facing the undefeated minor premiers in Warialda.
The home side led 12-10 at half-time but the Wombats came out firing in the second stanza to re-claim the lead.
Kelly said a late try snatched the win from the previously unbeaten team.
"They got out to 22-12 with about 15 to go and then we got a bit of ball back and stopped making a few mistakes and scored," he said.
"We got our last try with two or three minutes to go."
They secured a 24-22 with a roaring crowd.
"We had a pretty big crowd there, the whole clubhouse was packed and very vocal," Kelly said.
"A lot of the old boys were pretty pleased with how the result went.
"There was definitely a very big crowd there and they probably got us at the end, could hear them cheering us on."
Kelly said "everyone did their job" but were led by the forwards.
"We played pretty well as a team, Brendan Blaker was pretty good for us in the front row," he said.
"He played nearly a full game there and was good for us, kept carting the ball up.
"He has been very good for us all year, especially on the weekend, he would have been our best player on the field."
Defensively the Tigers were on song.
"We just had pretty good line speed and slowed their time down," Kelly said.
"Once they weren't going through us in the middle, it made it harder for them to use their outside backs.
"Everyone was doing their job, we weren't really missing tackles or giving away penalties like we have been throughout the year."
Their last two games could be looked at as what could have been.
"Definitely good to finish the season off with a couple of wins and it probably showed a bit what we could have done during the year," Kelly said.
"Probably a bit too late to get too excited it but it was definitely a good end for us as a club to beat them."
