Whitchurch etched their name onto the Senior Colts League Bowl after a commanding 50-17 victory over Heaton Moor.
The Shropshire outfit showcased a blistering first-half performance and built an unassailable lead before weathering a Heaton Moor fightback to secure the silverware in emphatic fashion.
Head Coach Paul Fletcher said: "An outstanding team performance from a combined U17/16 team that have had very little opportunity to play together over the past few months.
"There was some brilliant, entertaining rugby on display and the lads have made the coaches, parents and Whitchurch Rugby very proud of them all."

From the opening whistle, Whitchurch were a force to be reckoned with as their forwards established dominance with powerful carries consistently punching holes in the Heaton Moor defence.
This platform of forward momentum provided the perfect launchpad for a Whitchurch backline that was simply electric.
Displaying creativity and attacking flair in abundance, they carved through the Heaton Moor defence to establish a 31-0 advantage at half-time.
However, the second-half painted a different picture as Heaton Moor came out firing and put the Whitchurch defence under significant pressure to reduce the arrears to 36-17.
Whitchurch managed to stem the tide and rediscovered their earlier rhythm and gradually began to reassert their authority.
Whitchurch pulled away, adding further points to their tally and ultimately securing a comprehensive 50-17 victory and begin a night of celebrations among supporters.
Ellis Ashton led the scoring with two tries while Charlie Paton, Charlie Fletcher, Tomos Barton, Mikolaj Borodzicz and Quinlan Cronin also crossed for tries with Paton adding five conversions.
