Kennington Athletic's footballers took time out from the Oxfordshire Under 16 Youth League to find glory in Europe last weekend.
A squad of 12 players entered the Netherlands Cup tournament held in Venlo, Holland and ended up winning it.
They were unbeaten on the first day with two wins and a draw against English teams Bowers & Pitsea and Wallace Juniors, and the hosts Wittenhorst.
That was enough to top the group and qualify them to the next day's semi-finals Their successes continued as they beat MWS, from Stoke-on-Trent, 20 and then local side Venlosche in the final.
John Rixon was their top scorer in the competition with three goals, while the defence earned high praise for conceding only one goal throughout.
