For Te Puke Sports Club president Ash Peat, his rugby team's victory at the weekend was made all the more special by the calibre of their opponents.
Te Puke managed to beat Te Puna in a nail-biter at Saturday's Bayside Rugby Premier 1 final on Te Puke's home ground at
Murray Salt Stadium.
"It was probably the biggest day in the club's history," Peat said.
"It was very special and so great to be a part of. It's what grassroots rugby is all about."
Peat was with the Te Puke team yesterday continuing the celebrations. He described the team as "pretty happy".
