Joshua Lipschutz scored two tries as Saltus came from behind to win the Boys A Division in the BSSF Primary School Flag Rugby Tournament.
Lipschutz crossed twice in the first half as Saltus beat Warwick Academy 5-2.
Cameron Morris gave Warwick an early lead before Saltus levelled through Lipschutz.
Morris put Warwick back in front before Cody Robinson went over the line to equalise again for Saltus.
Lipschutz then gave Saltus the lead for good late in the first half. Robinson and Louis Hammond scored a try each in the second half to seal the win for Saltus.
Earlier Saltus had defeated East End Primary 7-2 in the semi-finals. Lipschutz and Tyrese Charves scored two tries each, while Robinson Hammond and Max McCrimmon also scored.

Riley Robinson scored two tries for St George’s while Aunde Todd and Giani Santucci scored one each. Aaron Gardiner scored twice for Warwick.
Warwick survived a furious late rally from Saltus to win their semi final 7-6.
