Honiton Hornets were duly crowned champions of Petroc Two after a 3-0 win at Dart III.
The home side looked much changed from the one thrashed 11-0 when the teams met in East Devon earlier in the season.
Maddy Raynor moved into a centre midfield role to boost the attacking options and Hornets began brightly, but found the home goalkeeper to be in inspired form.
Jean Gormley had a number of shots on goal in the first half, but could not find the back of the net and it was only a stunning reverse stick shot from Katrina Tucker which managed to finally defeat the impressive keeper to see Hornets into the break with a 1-0 lead.
The attacking play – and hard work – continued in the second half.
