BRENTWOOD'S U14 side have rounded off a phenomenal season by completing a league and cup double.
Having clinched the league title last week at the end of an unbeaten Essex 1 campaign, they followed it up by beating rivals Upminster 48-0 in the Essex Cup Final.
And the end of their superb campaign has earned them praise from Brentwood Rugby Club chairman Richard King.
"We have got several of our juniors who are exceptional but our U14s have been fabulous this year," he said.
"They've won the Essex 1 U14s and they've won the county cup and they've won it in style.
"It is a tremendous encouragement about the future of Brentwood Rugby Club that we have such a strong mini and Juniors and the club is really proud.
"In particular this year the U14s have been exceptional. They are an example of future excellence for our club.
"We've had several of our minis do extremely well at Essex festivals this year. Several of our youth teams have been league champions, very successful.
"I think we've got 21 players under the age of 18 in county representative teams, which I think is the most ever and at least two teams have won Essex 1.
"The U14s did the double which is fantastic, which makes them special."
Straight from the kick-off Brentwood pressurised the Upminster defence, with the forwards eventually driving over with Chris Palmer scoring the try.
Upminster then took the game to Brentwood, with Brentwood giving away a series of penalties, which eventually resulted in a period in the sin bin for the scrum half.
Brentwood's defence remained resolute, keeping out a series of drives by Upminster forwards.
Having withstood this pressure, Brentwood took the game to Upminster and scored three tries in a five-minute spell through Harry Swailes, Liam Batty and Henry Mead, with Toby Tierney successful with his conversions.
Max Kyle scored another try just before the break, Tierney again successful with the conversion, to effectively put the game beyond Upminster's reach, 33-0 to Brentwood at half time.
Brentwood made a series of substitutions at half-time, but the team was not diminished in strength.
Ollie Heazel scored a wonderful solo try at the start of the second half, and further tries from Batty and Mead, made the final score 48-0 to Brentwood.
