Tongala suffered a heart-breaking one-goal defeat, 48-47, in spite of Abby Waasdorp being named best-on-court in the season finale.
The epic grand final win capped off a stellar finals run for Moama, which saw them lift the premiership trophy after finishing fourth on the ladder.
The Magpies came into the clash as the underdogs, but netted the first five goals of the game and led by seven goals at the end of the first quarter.
Tongala came roaring back in the second stanza, responding with six of the first seven goals of the quarter. The Blues hit the lead for the first time of the game at one point, but the score was tied 24-24 at half-time.
Blues coach Corey Nexhip said he was proud of his team after a stellar season.
“We can’t take away from the girls and the incredible season they had,” Nexhip said.
“They’ve continued to develop and grow each week to take the step up to senior netball and that’s what we set out to do.
“Winning a grand final is the ultimate goal to top that off, but obviously we fell just short to quite a clinical Moama team.
“To our girls’ credit, they still played an excellent game of netball. Throughout the game there were just a couple of key moments going Moama’s way.”
