The last time the school held the cup was in 2015.
The Don Green Local Derby Cup is 2 Touch Football Games between St Mary's and Wellington High, a girls match and a boys match.
Both scores are tallied up and who ever has the most points wins the Cup.
With both schools scoring a win the result was left to the points with St Mary's winning 11-9.
The first match was between the schools girl's teams with both teams playing a very fast running game and competing on every play.
As the time went by St Mary's took control of the game winning 8-0 with Lilly Clarke scoring a hatrick, Emily Smith and Bonni Sheridan getting doubles and Natayah Misepo-Kelly also crossing the line for their big win.
The second match was between the boys with both schools coming out of the gates hard and fast crossing for some great tries.
At the half way point it was three-all until Wellington High lifted gears and St Marys were unable to go with the fast finishing home side running home winners 9-3.
The NSW Touch Life member Don Green was on hand at the game to present the famous trophy that has now been run for 10 years.
Don was very impressed with the standard of Touch played and hopes they continue their touch for their school and local Wellington Touch Club.
"Winning aside all our students represented us in the best possible was today, giving their best and working hard together as one, One Pack the St Mary's Wolf Pack," he said.
