In a much-awaited first, St Kentigern's premier soccer team claimed the honours at the Lotto Tournament in Taupo, beating long-time rivals Auckland Grammar 2-0 in a tense final.
It was another honour for Auckland schools who picked up their share of titles in a hectic winter tournament week.
The St Kentigern 1st XV rugby team will now go all out to match their soccer team's triumph when they travel to play Hamilton BHS in the Top Four final in Saturday's televised match, with the winner earning the right to play at next year's Sanix Cup tournament in Japan.
If St Kents win they get the chance to defend the Cup they won earlier this year, whereas Hamilton BHS will be chasing a third trip to Japan and the chance to become the first three-time winner after their successes in 2011 and 2012.
