AKW Jets were eyeing off a fourth-straight title but three late tries saw them come unstuck at Jubilee on Tuesday night.

Farmers Home hadn't beaten the Jets until the finals but proved their semi-final success was no fluke with an 8-5 victory in the grand final.

The clash was locked at 3-all at half-time, and it was still all square with around five minutes to play before Farmers Home powered away late.

Farmers Hotel captain Rachael Addison was thrilled to finally break through.

"We finally got there after many years," Addison said.

"It was lovely to finally get the win."

AKW Jets won the first clash between the two sides before they played out two draws in the regular season.

Farmers Home then edged past their rivals to be the first team into the decider.

Addison was impressed with how the side adapted in the finals to deliver the goods.

"Both teams were very competitive during the season and when we played each time it was always very close," she said.

"We had a couple draws and then beat them in that first final which set us up well going into the grand final.

"We felt very confident going in and even though they have been so dominant for so many years it felt like we believed in ourselves and knew we could win it if we stuck to the game plan.

"Everything went our way.

"We knew the tries wouldn't come easy but knew if we stuck it out and stuck to the game plan to slowly chip away at it that by the end of the season half hopefully things might go our way and that's exactly what happened. We got three late tries to allow us to win but they only came in the last five to six minutes."

While the evergreen Addison was named player of the tournament, she was thrilled with how the younger contingent of the team performed in the biggest game of the season.

That included Jorja Pinney, who was named best in the final in her first season in the Premier League.

"We work in pods and I feel like our young girls worked really well in attack and set up most of our attacking plays while the older girls really worked hard in defence," Addison said.

"It was just part of the game plan and our coach Darren Reynoldson was great and really thought about who works well together.

"Some of the older girls have played together for a long time and we know each other's game and what works while the younger girls were outstanding and I really believe it was them who made the difference."

Addison was also thrilled with the input Ashley Reynoldson and Caitlin Wheeler.
