The under 17s competition will break over Christmas now after Tamworth scored their second win of the season on Sunday.
After a shaky start, the ship was steadied primarily by Harry Lewington.
The No. 4 came in to bat with the score at 2-14 and in the blink of an eye it was 3-16.
However, a patient 37 from 84 balls from Lewington saw Tamworth's score move to 76 when the second drop was the sixth wicket to fall.
Lewington was out to Jaxon Brooks (2-28) who claimed two wickets for Maitland Gold alongside Rywin Nock (2-20) and Izaac Coyle (2-14).
Tom Aitken was Tamworth's next best batsman. His 21 helped the home side reach 131.
For Maitland, a number of batsman were able to get a start but none were able to convert those starts into a big score.
Five batsmen made it into double digits but none got past 20 with Brooks (16) top-scoring.
Like the runs, the wickets were shared around in the second innings.
Aitken was the best of the lot with an economical 3-20 from 10 overs.
Ryan Stewart (2-8), Lachlan Clydsdale (2-10) and Harrison Mills (2-29) were also among the wickets for Tamworth.
