The colourfully-named outfit prevailed 3-1 over Diggers, a side which surprised the rest of the competition by making the final.
But ultimately the reigning champions proved far too vicious and far too delicious.
Team captain and competition MVP Brendan Watson said teammate Matt Lloyd, who won the Sherie Collins Memorial Trophy as the MVP of the final, once again proved himself to be an invaluable difference-maker.
“He was our go-to guy whenever we needed a point,” Watson said.
“He’s our finisher and he can finish them from anywhere.”
Watson also said getting each first pass higher in the air was key in allowing his team to prepare its attacks and take control of the game.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing for the the victorious side, however, getting off to a slow start and having to fight tooth and nail to win the first set.
Vicious and Delicious then won the second set comfortably, before losing the third and grinding out the fourth.
In the other finals, Blame it on the Blamey claimed the B-grade title with a 3-1 win over TBG All-Stars, while Guatama Buddha downed Volley Rogers in C-grade.
