Chanel College have won their first Wairarapa Secondary Schools Boys Division One soccer title.
They met Wairarapa College in the final and took the honours 2-1.
Playing on their home ground, Chanel opened the scoring in the 17th minute when Chris Cox netted from long range and led 1-0 at halftime.
Joshua Logan increased the lead for Chanel through a well-executed header 10 minutes into the second half to extend their advantage. However, an exciting finish followed after Hamish Potter scored late in the game for Wairarapa College.
The remaining minutes were especially nerve-wracking for Chanel, but the team managed to keep Wairarapa at bay and take the title for the first time in the school's history.
