A superb series came to a perfect end for Huntingdonshire Athletics Club as they completed the double in the Frostbite League cross-country.
The St Ives Outdoor-based club confirmed victory in both the senior and junior events by winning the final round, held at Jubilee Park in Huntingdon.
The juniors took the overall crown for the fifth year in a row with Dom Pauley edging out Noah Scott-Donkin and Tom Waterworth in the final boys' run.
Their two scorers in the girls' race were Lola Fletcher (20th overall and first girl) and Cara Still (40th overall and seventh girl).
The seniors improved on second place overall last year to beat Yaxley.
They also took the individual win at Jubilee Park with Dave Hudson the first across the line, closely followed by team-mates Christopher Smith in second and James Orrell in fourth.
Simon Bowman and Darren Matthews were eighth and ninth with Rod McKee completed the scorers, both inside the top 20.
