The Open Championships, played over 36 holes, were open to all players which Cheryl won with a two-round total of 172 (85, 87).
She was also crowned Champion of Champions, a closed 36 hole event for club champions in the New England region, after sneaking home by a shot from Amanda Carr.
It was the second time Cheryl has received the Heather Coogan jug for Champion of Champions after she was also victorious at Armidale in 2017.
Not surprisingly, Cheryl also took out the New England District Golf Association Veterans Championships, played over 36 holes, which included the best 18 hole score off the stick on day one.
Cheryl collected the Colleen Cross Memorial trophy for best opening day scratch score by a New England player and also won the best scratch score open to all competitors from different parts of the state.
Nomination numbers were down due to the coronavirus but organisers were happy with the amount of players who did tee off in the tournament.
The current Walcha champion won her first local A grade title in 2009.
She has now increased that total to 10, and has only missed out once in the last decade - in 2014 to Rebecca Andrews.
