In reply, Sussex started slowly, falling to 4-23 in the early stages.
Despite a courageous 49 not out from Adam Sargood, Sussex never recovered and was all out for 120 in the 36th over.
Cooper Luke took 3-15 for Norths, with Greg Sweet (2-11) and Benjamin Morris (2-18) claiming two wickets each in the win.
Sitting just behind Norths on the ladder after 11 rounds is Batemans Bay, who accounted for Shoalhaven Ex-Servicemens at Zealand Oval.
Batting first, Ex-Servos made just 48 despite 14 from opener William Economos.
Tyler Frawley caused most of the carnage with the cherry, taking 6-9 from his five overs.
The other four wickets were shared between Phil Rotherham (2-5) and Bailey King (2-6).
The Bay made light work of the chase, reaching 4-49 in the 19th over, thanks to 21 not out from Mark Tuckwell.
Stan Economos (2-22) did all he could for Ex-Servos in the loss.
The final match of the round saw Ulladulla United defeat Berry-Shoalhaven Heads at Lighthouse Oval.
On the back of Eddie Lee's 53 and Shanky Verma 48, United posted a huge total of 7-210 from their 40 overs.
The lone multiple wicket-taker for Berry was Dino Dicembre (2-29).
In response, Berry gave it their all but ended at 7-163 from their allocated overs.
Leading the way for the Magpies was Matthew Watson (55) and Craig Ingram (51), while David Clarke (2-19), Alex Eggins (2-20) and Kane Morgan (2-29) all secured two scalps for United.
That win by United sees them leapfrog Berry into fourth - with Ex-Servos sitting in third.
Next round, Ex-Servos host Sussex, Berry plays the Bay and Norths entertain United.
