Lakeview won the final of the Wairarapa-Bush Rugby Union's rippa rugby tournament for year 5 and 6 pupils.
They played Carterton in the decider with Lakeview winning a hard-fought contest 5-3.
All told 11 schools were involved in the tournament, others being Featherston, St Teresa's, Martinborough, Greytown, St Mary's, Opaki, Hadlow, Tinui and Mauriceville.
A highlight was the outstanding teamwork and passing skills shown by many of the schools and borne out of regular training sessions where the importance of operating as a unit was obviously stressed.
Lakeview were deserved overall winners as they went through the tourney undefeated.
