"We ran over the top of them. That had been the main message about staying patient and moving the ball around until we can get the better of them," Norths coach Dave Willott said.

The Blues weren't beaten by Wests across four grades, meaning they took home the annual piece of silverware.

Elsewhere, Finlay Healy, Stuart Fletcher and Cooper Smith all scored during the second half as second-placed Gosford prevailed against an understrength Maitland outfit 3-0 on Sunday.

The Rams were missing Tom Forbes, Isaac Smith and Ryan Simpson, who are all away playing at the under-21 national titles in Perth.

Souths and University had the weekend off.
