The Tyrepower Northland club rugby season wrapped up in style with three close games in the finals series at Whangārei's Semenoff Stadium on Saturday.
In the Tyrepower Northland Rugby Premiership final, the Western Sharks, who had been the form team all season after finishing at the head of the table, held on for a narrow 10-7 victory over Mid Northern.
It was a particularly tough loss for Mid Northern as they lost last season's Premier final against Waipū in a game that went into extra time.
In the Tyrepower Northland Rugby Premier Reserve final, Mid Northern won a nail biter against Kamo 8-6.
And in the Southern Zone Championship final, there were plenty of points, but the outcome was still very close as Mid Western beat Otamatea 27-20.
