Now the young gun has the chance to experience it all again after they snuck into second and set up a showdown with Flames for the Tamworth women's hockey first grade silverware.
After a virtual three-way tussle between Waratahs, Olympians and South United, it came down to the final game of the regular season to decide the remaining spot in Sunday's grand final.

Flames extinguished South's hopes but Olympians' 3-1 win over Services saw them jump into second and meant Waratahs had to beat Tudor Wests to keep their hopes of winning back-to-back premierships for the second time in the club's history alive.
There were a few nervous flutters when Tudors scored inside the first couple of minutes but Waratahs managed to fight back and take the points 3-1 and set up a repeat of last year's decider.
It's a different story in the men's where South United will take on Kiwis after they finished one and two respectively.
Beaten grand finalists last year, Souths completed their regular season assignments with a 4-2 win over Tudor Wests to remain undefeated. Kiwis already had second spot locked in and drew 1-all with defending champions Workies as their premiership reign came to an end.
Waratahs' victory last year came somewhat against the odds (just to get to the grand final, where they upset Flames, they had to overcome the defending champions, and then the minor premiers) and was very special to be a part of Cameron said.
"It was crazy (the game)," she said.
"Grand finals are just completely different games, different atmospheres."
She is excited to get a chance to play in another one and potentially win another title, especially after at one stage it looked like they weren't even going to get the chance to play this season.
"It's really special, it's not something that comes around every day," she said.
This season is the 16-year old's fourth in first grade and has seen her take on a bit of a more prominent role with coach Matt Wilson pushing her into the middle at times.
Usually playing out on the right it has tested her but she has enjoyed the challenge.
"It's been stressful, but it's been good to challenge myself a bit more in the middle," Cameron said.
Also a handy cricketer, hockey is these days her main sport.
She is part of a good young contingent coming through for Waratahs.
"We've definitely got a lot of youngsters coming up which is really good, but we've also got the twins (Anita Collins and Madie Cryer) and Trine (Katrina Rekunow) which is really good," she said.
