'˜It's a big deal for us locally, being the first club to do it.

'˜The key is hard work. Both the teams were unbeaten all season and the goal difference was massive.'

Shooting Stars Yellow won Portsmouth League prem one with 14 wins from 14 matches.

It was an equally dominant show from Shooting Stars White as they won Gosport & Fareham League division one with 14 wins out of 14 matches as well. 

The Gosport success was also a first for the club.

Jewell added: '˜This was really nice. We had never won the Gosport & Fareham League before but we've been second numerous times.

'˜We are coming up to our 10th anniversary season and this was a great way to celebrate.

'˜For the season ahead we have a fantastic new kit with blue and silver to mark the 10th anniversary. We're sponsored by Skyline Engineering and they have really helped us.

'˜With the new season coming up pressure hasn't been a factor. The players have revelled in it. They have done everything we've asked of them and really upped their training.'

Stars also now have two Hampshire League teams and one South Regional League team.
