The game was hard fought and with Parkes setting a cracking total of 146, it was sure to go down to the wire.
The girls showed great steel and toughness to come out on top, reaching the total with only a handful of overs to spare, and two wickets left in the sheds.
The win came after a solid semi-final win against Orange High School in November.
Congratulations girls it was an outstanding effort and you deserve every accolade.
