"In the last game against Zone 13, they [North West] were in front with three ends to go but got beat," Zone 3 Bowls president Ian Bannister said.
They also lost to eventual winners Newcastle (Zone 2) in the opener.
Newcastle beat Illawarra, 64-49, in Saturday's final at South Tamworth to claim their first title since 1995.
Meanwhile, North Coast won the seniors title on Wednesday. They also beat Illawarra.
Bannister said the tournaments - that were played at South Tamworth, Tamworth City and West Tamworth bowling clubs - were a great success.
"Everyone was happy with the greens and everything else," Bannister said,
"I got a lot of good feedback. Everyone was happy with it - except for the minus two [degrees] on Monday morning."
Zone 3 will now look toward the Bowls NSW Singles Championships.
Sectional play will take place around the zone this Sunday followed by the Zone 3 finals the following weekend.
The zone finals will be played at Inverell Sporties on June 5 and June 6.
