It's the first time the Border rugby club has produced a clean sweep with its first and second grade sides and the women's team all triumphant on the same day.
History was made when the first graders romped to a 41-12 win.
Mosese Baleidrokadroka finished with two tries, while Liam Flanagan, Sam Seton, Seb Benson and Liam Krautz also crossed in the victory.
Coach James Kora said it was a great start for the club.

"Three wins in a row, it doesn't get any better than that," he said.
"The opening 40 minutes was gold rugby. The boys stuck to the plan and did their jobs.
"We probably played 50 minutes of rugby, we lost our way a bit in the second half.
"Reddies never gave up and kept coming back at us."
Kora knows there's still a long way to go but believes the side has set itself a good standard.
"We know where we are and the boys in the second grade were just as good as the first grade," he said.
"The coaches have got to sit down and do the selection panel again because everyone put their hands up to try hold onto a spot and everyone put their hands up to try get a spot."
