Tathra opened the batting, and fought their way to 115 runs from their 20 overs. This score was in spite of some good bowling and field from the Pirates.
In response, the Pirates fell short of 100 despite some good runs from the middle order.
13-year-old Yasmin Welsford was the star for Tathra, batting for 17 overs and outshining representative star Jade Allen.
14-year-old Tathra bowler Ellie McMahon also impressed, taking three wickets to stymie Southern Eurobodalla's chase.
Tathra coach Adam Blacka said Jade Allen and Sharna Mitchell had been Tathra's strongest performers consistently, but praised a whole-team effort for the result.
"We had depth and girls that could hold the end, giving us staying power at the crease," he said.
Blacka said the Pirates had his side nervous multiple times throughout the day.
"They opened up pretty strong," Blacka said. "Madelyne (Czubara) hit three or four fours in-a-row off Jade who has been one of our best bowlers, so it put us under a bit of pressure."
The ground had been quite slow and heavy after overnight rains, but Blacka praised his team's efforts to steam a quickening pitch as it warmed up on Sunday.
A repeat of round one, the coach said it was a "night and day" transition of ability and form to Sunday's final, which he thinks bodes well for the competition.
"It was an amazing difference," he said. "We were sitting back watching and everyone knew how to play and what cricket is all about.- backing up between the boundaries, covering the ball and technique, they were on top of all the one-percenters.
"I can't wait for next season because I reckon there will be eight teams in it next year."
Both Bega and Bermagui are anticipated to already be planning for teams in the next season.
"Congratulations to the girls, it was a great result, but it's really awesome to see everyone getting behind it."
