Keira were beaten by St Augustines (Northern Beaches) in a tight under-16s final, while Dapto lost to Lane Cove (North Shore) in the under-14s decider.
The Lane Cove bowlers set up victory by dismissing Dapto for 48, with Brody Murrell (15) top-scoring for Dapto, including a six.
The Sydney side reached the target for the loss of four wickets, with Sarah Young taking two wickets. Despite the defeat Dapto had a great season, featuring 24 wins and only one loss.
Meanwhile, in the first of three Weet-Bix Cup finals at Hurstville Oval, Keira posted a very competitive 7-127 off their 20 overs in under 16s against the Metro representatives St Augustines.
Keira opener Tane Nunn top-scored with 35, with Sam Oakley making 28 and Daine Richards (17). The Sydney side batted well and reached the target with two overs to spare, losing just two wickets. More than 150 junior clubs played in the Cup.
The Thirroul under 12s were the regional play-off runners-up.
