Suva Grammar School has secured the Coca Cola Games Boys Division title after winning 11 gold, 6 silver and 6 bronze.
Grammar last won in 2011.
It came down to the 4x400 metres relays to determine the winner as it was a close contest between Grammar and QVS.
It is a perfect send off for Grammar coach and former Fijian sprinter, Jone Delai, who finishes off this year.
Delai says they had a plan in place but they could not execute that in the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However he says they have done it this year.
Delai has also paid tribute to the former students of the school for backing the team at the Coca Cola Games.
