Sherwell Valley primary school girls' football team have won the Torquay Girls' School League, the President's Cup, the Devon area Premier Stars competition, the South West Premier Stars competition and were fifth in the national finals of the Premier Stars competition at Leeds United's Elland Road ground.
The Torquay Girls' Schools League finals night was held at the FA's Coach Road, Newton Abbot, ground - where the girls completed the double by winning the President's Cup and the league.
They beat Shiphay primary 3-0 in the President's Cup semi-final and then beat Warberry primary 4-0 in the final - thus completing the double by winning the cup and league.
The girls' football coach, Year 5 teacher Andy Lockyer, said: "This squad have had the most successful season in the history of the girls' football at Sherwell Valley dating back 25 years.
"They have been an extraordinary team led by their exceptional captain Emilee, who is part of the Plymouth Argyle womens' set up.
"In goal, Belle has been outstanding, letting less than 10 goals in the whole season. The defence of Emma, Sophia and Lottie have been calm and assured against some of the finest players across the country.
"The industrious midfield of Emilee, Freja and Lucy have worked tirelessly providing opportunities for goals and scoring many goals themselves.
"Up front, Brooke has been dynamite in front of goal - scoring more than 20 goals in the season. Emilee has scored over 30 goals this season too.
"We are so incredibly proud of the whole team and their achievements."
Meanwhile, the Sherwell Valley Boys' under-11s and under-nines' teams also won their respective leagues and cups at the finals night too.
They have been coached by Andy Robinson and the school's director of football, Matt Briant.
