The Bluedogs had put on a modest score of 125 in the opening innings with Kye Lygon leading the way for his side on 46 runs.
The top order put in plenty of grunt work with opener Toby Keath getting 25 on the board, while Jack Baker scored 19.
However, Tathra’s fielding proved impeccable with the tail order crumbling quickly.
Five wickets were clinched within just a few overs.
Tathra captain Adam Blacka took a simple catch off a floater that signalled the Bluedogs’ downfall.
Charlie Baker was stumped by Rob Stevenson, then Tom Hammond was caught for a duck by Chris Dwyer with a blinding dive grab.
Jared Colley and Blacka then claimed two clean bowled wickets to return Pambula to the sheds.
At the crease, Blacka led the home side to victory in just 14 overs.
He slogged 94 runs including four sixes and 13 fours.
