"It’s a fantastic achievement by the boys and coaches," said jubilant club chairman Matt Hicks.
"It’s a really talented group, with the majority now playing adult football at a good standard. As a club we are really proud of the them and a great deal of the congratulations need to go to the coaches Steve Allen, Tim Hodges and Rich Forse."
