Just one goal separated the sides at half-time, before TDNA found momentum to capitilise on the lead.
Former Ovens and Murray interleague player and current Yackandandah playing coach Justine Willis was named best on court for the match, while Billabong Crows' playing coach Millie Ferguson was the best for Hume.
In her debut as a TDNA interleague coach, Kiewa-Sandy Creek's Kath Evans admitted it was great to see the leagues meet for the first time in years.
"The win was great, but just the way the game was played and getting the chance to play against the Hume League was an honour," Evans said.
"It was a ripping game from start to finish with four really intense quarters.
"Everyone just came out and did what they do.
"It's great for country netball."
Osborne playing coach Sally Hunter celebrated her 24th birthday leading the Hume side for the first time, praising the senior players for their efforts.
"I said to the girls that I was really happy with the way we were able to have a bit of a comeback in that last quarter," Hunter said.
"All of the different clubs coming together is always good.
"We're all aware of each other and we've met on court, but many of us hadn't necessarily had a conversation before."
TDNA's Georgie Attree, Jess Barton and Mardi Nicholson rotated well in goals, while Mitta United's Kirsty Baude worked tirelessly in the midcourt.
