Just four seasons ago the Blues were wooden spooners, but completed a remarkable transformation at Equex Centre on Sunday.

After opening the scoring the Bulls struggled to contain a charging Blues forward pack to fall to successive grand final losses with the 28-4 result.

Only three members of the side aren't Tumut juniors and they sent their supporters into a frenzy.

Blues co-coach Dean Bristow was blown away by the scoreline.

"I didn't think ever in my wildest dreams I could assemble this team but we've done it," he said.

"It feels surreal but I don't think we could have played a better game of footy."

Southcity opened the scoring after 15 minutes as Tumut failed to contain a Nathan Rose kick and they kept it alive, going through tree sets of hands before finding the five-eighth to score.

It proved to be a rare highlight.

Tumut soon fired back with Lachlan Bristow bursting out of dummy half and going 30 to score five minutes later.

It was to be the first of three tries for the Blues hooker in a man of the match performance.

He extended their lead with 15 minutes before half-time as he forced his way over from dummy half after another strong Zac Masters run.

The Blues went into the break leading 12-4 and turned it on to start the second half.

Both sides had got opportunities to add more points only for some tough scrambling defence.

They scored three tries in the first 16 minutes to seal their first title in nine years.

Masters started things off when he forced his way over six minutes after the break.

Six minutes later Ben Roddy added to their lead after a Bulls mistake.

Bristow then completed his hat-trick with another effort from dummy half with 24 minutes to play.

The Bulls had plenty of the ball as they tried in vain to get back into the contest but couldn't find a way through the blue wall.

Dean Bristow was thrilled with their defensive pressure.

"We had a heart-to-heart Friday night at training and everyone opened up about what this would mean to them and what we were going to turn up and do for each other," he said.

"In times of need out there that's what I told everyone to draw on.

"If your mate needs you think about what he said on Friday night and we turned up for each other.

"In those times of resilience early in the game that is what got us through."

Bristow never got on the field during their 2010 premiership success but after two years as co-captain-coach he even exceeded his boyhood dream.

"It was just a dream of mine to win a first grade comp but to be co-captain-coach and lead a side to premiership glory is something I will never forget and something they can't ever take off me," he said.
