ICONS Netball Club has been promoted to the County League for the first time.
Excellent performances in the first half of the season left St Ives-based Icons in first position, but the second half presented more challenges and a few losses put their hopes in jeopardy.
A 44-21 win in the penultimate match of the season secured their promotion.
The second team also enjoyed a successful season, losing just two games despite major injuries to two players. Mirroring the success of the first team, they were promoted to the second division for the 2007/2008 winter season.
Second team captain Lorraine Robbins said: "I am so proud of how the team supported each other and of the hard work and commitment that they have shown."
The club formed a third team for the 2006/2007 season, captained by Leslee Hallam. After a strong season, the team are also celebrating success after taking joint second place in the division.
