And there was also a comfortable winning margin for the under-16 boys championship team, which proved far too strong for arch-rivals Ballarat to win 67-41.
Ballarat got revenge though in both the under-14 boys and under-16 girls championship grand finals with wins over Bendigo.
The three-day tournament that started Saturday attracted about 270 teams and thousands of players.
With the busy finals day running behind schedule, not all grand final results were available at the time of the Bendigo Advertiser going to press on Monday.
