Heading into Wollongong, the top three clubs were tightly packed, and while Hills held a strong advantage, second and third remained wide open.
Hills added 79 points in the final round, bringing their total to 693 points and confirming the title. Their season was defined by consistency and decisive performances at the big rounds, highlighted by a massive 298‑point haul at CC26 and a further 150 points at Big Husky. Wollongong provided the final piece of a championship campaign.
The battle for second went right down to the wire:
- Coogee Comets scored 52 points in the final round to finish on 571 points overall.
- Panthers added 34 points, ending just one point behind Coogee on 570.
Coogee’s slightly stronger final‑round turnout proved the difference, allowing them to leapfrog Panthers and secure second place.
Bondi Brats retained fourth position thanks to their earlier season strength, including a 300‑point Round 5 performance, ensuring a solid top‑four finish.
Moore Performance Bats and Engadine Dingoes rounded out the top six, both benefiting from strong mid‑season participation.
Hunters Hill Hustlers and NS Mighty Mites finished level on points, highlighting how valuable even small final‑round contributions can be.
