The Lions claimed the Dennis Broad Cup, mainly for players not in the first XI, with an eight-wicket victory over University by chasing down the visitors' total of 63 in 12.5 overs.
Last month club championship leaders Merewether also triumphed in the second-grade one-day decider.
Earlier on Sunday, City had twin wins via both the under-21 and under-15 showdowns.
The Sabres defeated Charlestown in 21s with Australian under-19 squad member Aidan Cahill top scoring on 46 in setting a target of 3-145. The Magpies made to 9-132 in reply.
City had four runs outs in the 15s encounter, dismissing Wests for 95 after reaching 6-107.
This was the third title for the Sabres this summer, having already picked up the inaugural NDCA women's T20 league premiership double.
* DANIEL Chillingworth made the most of his return to Charlestown on Saturday, taking a five-wicket haul in second grade.
However, he wasn't sending down his regular leg-spinners but rather seam-up deliveries.
Chillingworth, who is back at the club after a move to Sydney was cut short by surgery, finished with figures of 5-52 from 20 overs against Wests at Harker Oval.
