The women's side will be the club's great hope in the finals after securing the minor premiership with a 24-point win over the second-placed Bermagui Breakers.
Zhoe Hart kicked three goals for the Lions, who only lost one match on the season. They will have the first week of the finals off, before playing Bermagui again in the major semi final at Berrambool Oval, Merimbula, on Saturday, August 17.
This already marks the furthest the Lions have gone in the finals, as they were eliminated in the first week of the finals in both 2018 and 2017.
The under 16s will also head into the finals as favourites after crushing the Breakers by 90 points to complete an undefeated regular season.
Harrison Bromwich led the way with four goals, while Matthew Parker brought up 100 goals for the season.
The 16s will also play the Breakers again in two weeks time at Berrambool Oval, with a spot in the grand final up for grabs.
The under 12s locked up second spot on the ladder despite a 60-point loss to the Breakers.
William Tiffen kicked the Lions' only goal in the loss to the ladder-leading Breakers.
The 12s will also play at Berrambool Oval in a fortnight, also against the Breakers.
The senior side will have a much harder path to the grand final after a 63-point loss to the Tathra Sea Eagles.
Luke Talty kicked four of the Lions five goals, with Max Caldwell snagging the other.
The loss leaves Narooma in fourth spot on the ladder, three wins adrift of Tathra and Pambula.
The seniors will travel to Bendigo Bank Oval, Pambula, next weekend to take on the Pambula Panthers in the first semi-final. A loss in that match would end their season.
