All three teams played semi-finals in Nambucca and came away with victory.
The 15s defeated Bellingen-Dorrigo Magpies 28-0, 14s won 26-16 over Bowraville whilst 10s gained victory in a thriller against Woolgoolga with a 20-18 final scoreline.
"The boys showed a mental toughness and determination to get the results in the end and come away with the victory," Smithtown's 14s coach Jason McKiernan said after Bowraville pushed them to their limits.
The 14s will meet the Kempsey Dragons in their grand final after they defeated Woolgoolga 60-6 in an extremely dominant display.
