Mount Saint Agnes Academy successfully defended their Primary School Girls Seven-a-Side crown with an emphatic 4-0 victory over Purvis Primary in the final.
Mirabella Sebastiao was the undisputed star of the show, delivering a clinical hat-trick in the showpiece before Inara Todd added a late fourth to put the result beyond doubt.
Sebastiao's heroics capped a scintillating tournament run for the champions, with the young forward proving decisive at every turn.
She had earlier fired MSA into the decider by scoring the lone goal in a tense 1-0 semi-final win over Warwick Academy, having already found the target alongside Todd and Bryn Smith in a comprehensive 3-0 playoff victory against Harrington Sound.
While MSA produced attacking fluency throughout, Purvis Primary took the hard road to the final, showing remarkable poise to eliminate two traditional powerhouse programmes from the penalty spot.
Purvis opened their knockout campaign by holding Saltus Grammar to a goalless stalemate before cruising through the shootout 4-1.
Their semi-final against Bermuda High School (BHS) brought even greater drama. Lorin Astwood handed Purvis a 1-0 advantage in the first half, only for Lucy Shailer to break their hearts with an equalizer on the final kick of regulation time.
Undeterred, Purvis held their nerve once again, prevailing 5-4 in a sudden-death spot-kick duel to punch their ticket to the final.
However, their shootout exertions took their toll in the decider, where Sebastiao and a relentless MSA side proved too formidable to deny back-to-back silverware.
