Rotorua Maroon has finished off the Tai Mitchell tournament with a resounding 38-17 win against Whakatane in the third and fourth playoff at Rotorua International Stadium.
The side, directed beautifully around the field by pivot Jordan Tuakana-Hudson, ran rampant in front of a healthy crowd in the six-tries-to-three victory to claim the Gavin Parkinson Shield.
Tuakana Hudson was particularly impressive, passing beautifully with both hands and repeatedly putting his outsides into space as the hosts built a 21-5 halftime lead that was never threatened.
He was joined in the tournament team - which is separate from the Roller Mills selection - by bollocking number eight Nikki Jacobs and second five-eighth Caleb Piua, who was sponsored by Bay of Plenty and Highlanders prop Kane Hames.
Maroon manager Rawiri Wihapi was pleased with how his players bounced back following a tough 17-10 loss to eventual winners Tauranga East in the semifinal.
