Aftermath

Coleambally and Barellan United (formed from the merger of Barellan-Binya and Kamarah-Moombooldool) continue to play in the present day in the Farrer Football League. After playing intra-club football from 1971 to 1981, the Hay Rovers joined the Golden Rivers Football League in 1982 as the Hay Lions and play in that continue to play in that competition at present.[3]

After their Australian rules club folded, Darlington Point continued to field teams in the Group 20 Rugby League competition, amalgamating with Coleambally's team in 1973. Meanwhile, following the demise of the Yanco Penguins Australian Football Club, the nearby Wamoon RLFC relocated to the town as Yanco-Wamoon in 1970 and continues to play in the Group 20 competition in that code also.

The locality of Sandy Creek no longer has any sporting teams.
