Cody Sellwood, Josh Morritt and Joseph Hogarty were Tatura's three goalscorers, while Ayden Dimitropoulos was the sole scorer for Shepparton.
The Reds had more luck in the under-14s and under12s with both its teams advancing to the the grand final.
The under-14s eliminated Shepparton South 3-1 in the preliminary final with two goals to Steven Young and one to Alex Goodwin cancelling out South's goal to James Billington.
In the under-12s, Shepparton responded to being rolled in last week's qualifying final by comprehensively defeating Tatura 5-0.
Goal scorers for Shepparton were Henry Coghlan with two, Cooper Gosstray, Matthew Portia and Hayden Dealy.
Shepparton also qualified for the junior girls' grand final after Dannielle Dimit's goal gave the Reds a 1-0 win against Cobram Victory.
