Desperate and courageous defence helped Dunedin win its 10th premier rugby banner at Carisbrook on Saturday.
Dunedin won the Speight’s championship shield when it beat Southern 11-10 in a gripping final that was in the balance until the final whistle.
It was tense championship rugby and the Dunedin supporters in the crowd of 3000 stood as one and cheered their team when referee Ross Barnett blew for full-time.
The hero for Dunedin was No 8 and captain Scott McKee, who won his second championship banner.
McKee played a key role with his ability to break the advantage line by taking the ball up after the Dunedin scrum had been pushed backward.
He combined with Tim Fraser and Jon Crossan in a fiery loose forward trio that dominated the breakdown and kept the pressure on Southern.
Dunedin dominated possession in the first spell and looked to have the game under control when it led 11-0 at the break, though in the early exchanges, the powerful Southern scrum had pushed the Dunedin eight backwards and threatened to take charge.
The strong Dunedin line-out, headed by lock Michael Gurran, began to starve Southern of ball, which allowed Dunedin to take the upper hand.
