Taking on the Southern Storm in the last match of their best-of-five series, which was drawn at two matches apiece thanks to a washout, Greater North were led by Ava Curtis' half-century as she scored 54 off just 44 balls.
Guiding her side to 8-186, the South Launceston player was assisted along the way by Kalea Leary's 22 and Elka Chamley's patient 18 off 60 balls with Southern bowler Ellie Henley impressing with 2-11 off 4.5 overs.

Curtis then backed it up with ball in hand, taking a wicket on the first delivery of the defence on her way to 2-15 with only Ashlee Scott's 2-13 eclipsing her figures as Zara Broomby (2-19) also took multiple wickets - dismissing the South for 146.
Playing on the other Cadbury ground down south, the under-13 Northern side fell marginally short as they aimed for a clean sweep, losing by 13 runs.
Southern openers Josie Rose and Montanna Arnold scored 29 and 26 respectively while Northern bowler Alicia Williams took 3-18 as the home side made 7-144 off their 30 overs.
A trio of Northern batters - Williams, Claire Beams and Taya Parker-Clarke - provided the team's highest score of 17 as the side made 6-131 and were unable to pick up their first win of the series.
