In front of more than 4000 people, the hosts upset minor premiers Greta Branxton Colts 20-4 to lift the 2013 trophy.
Denman halves Blake Dureau and captain-coach Dean Amos took out the Men of League and Group 21 man of the match awards respectively.
“I couldn’t be prouder of the boys; everyone put in a big effort,” Amos said.
“I’d just like to thank all the players, coaches, staff, committee members and supporters for getting behind us.”
The Colts had better luck in reserve grade, upstaging the Singleton Greyhounds 20-14 in an entertaining encounter.
Greta Branxton five-eighth Christopher Mackay starred in the triumph.
The Muswellbrook Rams maintained its momentum in the under-18 competition, trouncing the Scone Thoroughbreds 42-18.
