It has been a hugely positive season for those at St Albans Primary Schools - even if there was frustrating end.
The Yellows were playing at Oxford City in the Shires Cup semi-final but conceded inside 10 seconds to Reigate & Banstead before eventually succumbing 3-0 as they failed to break the stubborn defence down.
However, it was a different story in the third and fourth place play-off as their free-flowing, passing football came back and the 4-0 win over Gloucester B was deserved.
Two goals came from Joshua John, the first a beauty from 20 yards, while Tom Nicholson-Wolfe also scored from distance with a powerful effort.
Harry Newman added to the mix with an excellent curling effort.
Manager Nick Sanders said: "This meant they ended the season on a high, winning their last match together.
"Well done to all, they have been a pleasure to manage all season and two trophies is a very successful year."
There was success too for Harpenden Town and Colney Heath.
Harps came from behind to beat Tring Athletic 2-1 and claim the St Mary's Challenge Cup.
Kieran Turner had put Tring in front on 25 minutes in the game played at Hemel Hempstead Town's Vauxhall Road but Harps had the advantage by the break.
Danny Webb levelled 10 minutes later before Ryan Plowright tapped in from an Andrew Simmons cross on the stroke of half-time.
They still had to survive a penalty in the second period but Eman Olajide made the save and they saw out the remaining time to claim the cup again.
Colney Heath Res meanwhile strolled to a Suburban League Challenge Plate victory over Hartley Wintney.
They won 8-3 in the game played at Slough Town, although there it was all about the second half as they had turned round at 2-2.
The Magpies had gone 2-0 ahead after just seven minutes, Finn Carpenter heading home a Sam O'Hare free-kick after two minutes before Francis Tortora lofted a shot over Dylan Hawkins after being set up by Kairo Anthony.
It took 36 minutes for Hartley to pull one back through George Turner but a few minutes later Harvey Chogugudza had equalised.
However, another quick start in the second half made more of an impact.
Olamilekan Emiloju went round the keeper following a pass from George Small and the provider was then on hand to tap home rebound after Hawkins had failed to hold onto a shot.
It become 5-2 on 71 minutes when James Samways scored from the edge of the box and then a curling shot from Jack Wilson struck the bottom of the post and Carpenter reacted quickest to make it 6-2.
and latched on the loose ball to send a delightful lob over Hawkins to make it 6-2. Hartley & Wintney quickly replied when
Renaldo Narcisse's quick reply was a mere consolation for Hartley and Colney wrapped things up in stoppage time.
A long kick forward from keeper Liam Gauthier went through to Freddie Quinn and allowed Mayar Hajousman to finish off in style.
Quinn then robbed a defender from the kick-off to bag number eight.
