Tigers upstaged Mangoplah-Cookardinia United-Eastlakes 31-28 to get the club a netball premiership to go along with the club's first grade football win.
The scores were locked together at 27 apiece late in the grand final but it was Tigers who were able to find another gear to get home in a thriller.
It was quite the upset after MCUE enjoyed big wins during the year.
Seventeen-year-old Tigers captain and goal attack Eliza Kelly won best on court and was thrilled to lead her team to a premiership in a close one.
"It was very intense the whole game, like only one or two in it the whole time. Everyone was really wanting it and the defence really brought it home for us," Kelly said.
"We just wanted it so bad. We put in the effort and lifted our intensity."
Meantime, Turvey Park enjoyed grand final day success in the lower grade netball.
Turvey Park's B grade team won their grand final with a 25-19 victory over Osborne.
