Arrows scorers were: Isaac Askwith 21, Danny McCurdy 19, Jack Godber 8, Harry Lynch 8, James Stennett 4, Adam Kemali 4 and Declan Abbott 4.

Coaches Mitch Dennison and Simon Ford nurtured the group.

Dennison said: “They have earned the right to call themselves champions, they have travelled the miles home and away to secure the results.

“Players like Isaac Askwith, Danny McCurdy, Jack Godber and James Stennett were part of a three-year project. It is great to see them get to their goal.”
