In a replay of last year’s final, the blue and whites were made to come from behind to knock off a classy Hawks line-up in the decider.
Elise Woods scored the decisive try mid-way through the final period while skipper Mish Somers nailed the conversion from near the sideline to hand St Pat’s a hat-trick of titles at the annual pre-season event.
A whopping 22 teams made it to Canowindra for the carnival, which has grown to incorporate teams from every competition in the Western Rams region.
Blayney and Dubbo Westside were the other two teams to top their respective pools and progress through to the finals.
