Wetheriggs United are the champions of the Westmorland League with three games left to play.
They clinched their first title for nine years with a hard-earned 2-1 win at Keswick.
The Lakesiders are fighting hard to avoid relegation and were lifted by a goal on 20 minutes from George Frampton.
Indeed they could have been well clear before Wetheriggs levelled on 40 minutes through Ryan Gate.
To add insult to injury Andy Murray-Jones, the Wetheriggs player-manager scored what proved to be the winner just before half-time.
Despite close calls at both ends, there were no more goals and Wetheriggs could celebrate their title success.
It was a welcome reward, too, as they had played in three Cup finals this season and finished runners-up in them all.
They are back in action tonight (Tuesday, May 10) at home to Penrith AFC Reserves (ko 6.45pm); away to Kirkby Stephen on Saturday (ko 2.30pm) and finish off on Tuesday, May 17 at home to Appleby.
