For players of any age it is always a big challenge to return home with a victory from Te Teko in the heart of the Eastern Bay.
They love their footy in that far corner of Bay of Plenty's rugby territory and over the years have produced some outstanding teams in the junior grades.
Along with the top teams from the Western Bay and Central Bay regions they get to prove they are the best Baywide team in their age groups at the Champion of Champions tournament day.
The hugely popular event was held at four locations last Saturday with under-8 and under-9 finals at Rotorua, under-10 and under-11 finals in Te Teko, under-12s at Arataki and under-13s at Papamoa.
The boys from Te Teko were unbeaten over four seasons and 72 games leading up to last Saturday's under-11 finals against Rotoiti and Tauranga Sports.
