Lawrence will be looking to put the icing on the cake on Saturday.
Last year the club, after being the country club rugby champion in 2014, was forced to pull out of the southern regional competition because it did not have the numbers to field a team.
But some hard work over the off-season, by both players and management, had the club field a side in this year's competition.
It has not just made up the numbers in the competition. It has gone through the season unbeaten - 15 wins from 15 games - and will host the southern region final against Clutha on Saturday.
Co-coach Sam Cotton said the town had a bit of a buzz about it this year with the way the team was performing, but it was down to a lot of hard work over the off-season.
"We managed to get a few names together ... and contacted a few players. We've got a van coming up from Dunedin for practice and they are all, bar one, ex-Lawrence guys,'' he said.
"That helped, and then a couple of players moved into the district.
"Last year we had quite a few guys who wanted to have a crack in town and that is fair enough. But most of them have come back for us, which has been good, and they are quality players.''
The players are fed after each training on Tuesdays and Thursdays and it is not the leftovers from the local piggery.
Steak, stews, sausages and venison have all been on the menu and Cotton said it had been a team exercise.
"We've got three people who share the manager role who have stuck their hand up to cook on Tuesday or Thursday.
"The whole town was missing the rugby last year. There is a bit of a buzz around the place now. We get great local support. In some away games, we will have more supporters there than the home team.''
The clubrooms have been
packed throughout the season and a big crowd is expected at the final on Saturday.
On the field, Cotton said it was a total team effort.
Prop Stu Young had returned from playing for Zingari-Richmond last year and was a key man in the pack along with captain Ben Martin.
Veteran inside back Sam Young, a former first-class player, now aged 37, was an asset in the backs along with young halfback Daine Lowery.
"But the whole team has stood up, really. Every time we've had an injury someone has come in and played well. We've struggled to have a full bench at times but guys have still played well.''
Club president David Middleton said the side really enjoyed playing and that had a big impact on its success.
"It has really lifted the community. A few of the life members got disillusioned last year ... there was the suggestion of going back into prem II in Dunedin,'' he said.
"But a few of the local boys said if we come back, to come back properly and give it a good shot.''
A win on Saturday would be the icing on the cake but the following Saturday would be the cherry on top, with the country club final being held.
