Having progressed to the final with a narrow 14-run victory over defending champions Sydney, they became the first UTS North Sydney women’s second-grade side to claim the trophy since 1977/78 with their eighth win on the bounce.
Skipper Sophia Mavros advanced her wicket tally to 29 with figures of 3-21, whilst Emily Aitken took 3-28 as Gordon could only muster 122 all out, the dangerous Olivia Callaghan dismissed for just 15 by Eva Jenns.
In reply, UTS were in trouble early on, losing two wickets with just 18 on the board, but a composed 50 from Alexandra Mavros and an unbeaten 24 from Aurora Mavros guided their side to victory with 6.3 overs remaining.
