Coach Tyson Mutsch, who has only just turned 18, believes the side is improving with each match.
"It was a very good win," Mutsch said.
"We had a game plan from the start to push them right out and make them feel uncomfortable and score goals and that's what we did.
"I thought we played much better than last week when we had a few cobwebs."
Goalkeeper Steve Sloan was resolute in defence for Pirates while Matt O'Connell refused to concede.
Northside finished second behind Sharks last season and are hoping to continue their development.
"We've gone from fourth to second and hopefully further this year," he said.
"Our side has pretty much built up from the under-14s with my brother and I, Sam Beddoes, Rex Gallaher and a few others."
