They added the Saturday Cup at the weekend when they defeated Curley Park Rangers - who play under the Hampshire umbrella despite being based in Surrey - 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

Hawks play on a Saturday in the Mid-Solent Youth League, and on a Sunday in the Portsmouth Youth League.

They have already won their under-12 division in the Mid-Solent, while on a Sunday they play an age group up - at under-13 level.

That has meant the team have played nine-a-side games on a Saturday and 11-a-side on a Sunday.

They still have the chance to win more silverware as they take on Felpham in the Mid-Solent League Cup semi-final this coming weekend. Bishop’s Waltham await in the final.
