The match was held before the start of the Group Three senior preliminary semi-finals.
Stella Tijou had a big day out for the Blues, scoring five tries and bombing another.
However, Shontai Fernando was named the player of the match, winning an NSW Blues training shirt autographed by the NSW women's State of Origin side.
Group Three Junior League president Warren Blissett was happy with the nines competition, which was the first conducted in the league.
He said a further shorter competition planned to start in late October this year, while the group will run a nines again next year in conjunction with the season-proper.
"The standard of the Junior Rugby League nines was good and Wauchope was the outstanding side as they showed in the grand final,'' Mr Blissett said.
