For the past three years Burrawang has displayed the cup in its trophy cabinet and was pleased to be able to do so for another 12 months.
Skipper Pat Cleary led the way with three goals, Jay Spong and Karl Aspinel each got two and Willy Hawke also found the back of the net.
Cleary said with a young team and plenty of fresh legs, Burrawang proved too much to handle for Robertson.
"Our skills shone through yesterday. Our passing was clean and our defence was very good," he said.
In goals Cleary said Colin Munro was outstanding and "did a good job doing nothing" as Robertson had few chances throughout the match.
"Our training on a Thursday night at our secret location in Burrawang is starting to pay off."
Hockey will now take a two week break with Easter and ANZAC Day long weekends.
After gaining momentum the past few weeks, Cleary said the side was a bit fearful of a long break but if it stuck to its strict diet and fitness regime, was confident of a win over Mittagong Panthers in three weeks time.
