Pirates' under-16 girls' coach Kristy Hogan saw her side undefeated throughout the weekend.
"It was an amazing result," she said.
"It just shows the depth of our local kids, especially up against city kids.
"It was a great experience for all of our younger kids and a great result for Ovens and Murray water polo."
Many of the youngsters are now in training for a NSW state event to be held in Sydney in six weeks.
The Pirates' under-16 girls' team are no strangers to success, with many of them playing off for a bronze medal at nationals last year.

"We're very lucky to have coaches that help out and parents who are so dedicated."
