Kaikohe Intermediate were crowned 2014 Girls Champions after beating Kawakawa Primary 40-0.

Matauri Bay nabbed the Boys Champions honour with their winning score of 7-0 against Okaihau College.

Sport Northland Community Sport Advisor Cheryl Smith would like to thank all of the schools that took part and Kerikeri High School referees and the Kaikohe Rugby Club volunteers.
