Lowestoft Town were crowned Norfolk League champions, while Shrublands and Dereham Town topped Divisions 1 and 2 respectively.

Lowestoft won 16 of their 18 games to take Division 1 by five points from runners-up Costessey Sports, who finished eight ahead of both UEA and Mulbarton Wanderers Reserves.

With the Trawler Girls winning the title at the first attempt since their reforming, they will take another year to build before stepping up to the regional leagues.

Division 2 was topped by Shrublands, just a point ahead of Hickling, while Beccles Town were third.

Dereham Town secured the two wins they needed from their last two games in just three days to claim the Division 3 title ahead of Bungay Town.

After edging past Dersingham Rovers — who had a player sent off — with Amie Hutchison completing her brace in the 88th minute for a 2-1 result, they went on to storm to a 6-2 victory at Waveney, finishing top by a single point.

Costessey Sports lifted the League Cup with a 3-1 victory over Aylsham Town in the final, as Alisha Juby added a late brace to Thea Hackney’s first-half goal.

UEA pipped Mulbarton Reserves to third place and also defeated them 2-1 in the League Plate Final, with goals from Lashay Moses and Sofia Odell.
