The result was never in question, with Tonny up 14-6 at quarter-time and, aside from a burst of strong play from the Mowers to start the third, continued to extend their lead throughout.
Goal shooter Tracey Hughes coached the squad to third straight perfect season in the grade.
Georgia Watt was best-on-court.
“We've got an amazing bunch of girls this year, which we've had the previous years as well,” she said.
“A lot of experience, two young ones in the mix, so I'm just super proud of everyone.
“We went in positive, and we all played really well.”

“I probably thought I'd be retired by now but when you got a good bunch of girls and some really good netballers it's easy to come into a team like that, so I'm happy that I'm here with them,” she said.
“I don't count my games but to get 500 here was amazing and now to finish with a premiership, even better.”
Jade Farmer sets herself.
It was at the other end of the court that the game’s best on court was found, with goalkeeper Georgia Watt disrupting the Moama shooters throughout the game.
“She's got really good skills and she just dominated down there,” said Hughes.
“If she hadn't got best on I would have thought something was wrong.”
