A goal either side of half-time saw Bristol City defeat Shrewsbury Town in the final of the Kinder+Sport Girls Cup at Wembley.
The match took place prior to kick-off in the Checkatrade Trophy Final, and it was Gordano School, representing the Robins, who made the first triumphant walk of the day up the Wembley steps.The City youngsters got off to a flyer thanks to striker Emily Edwards, who broke free of the defence to nestle a fine effort into the bottom corner.
Shrewsbury created chances of their own, but couldn't find a way through before the half-time whistle.
In the second half, the Robins were forced to defend astutely and stood firm to the test before grabbing what proved to be the winner courtesy of Keira Howse.
That goal sealed victory for the girls from Gordano School, crowning Bristol City as the Kinder+Sport Girls Cup champions of 2017.
After the match, Gordano's Teacher of PE and coach of Year 8 girls football, Mr Yau, spoke of his appreciation for the tournament.
"It's a fantastic initiative to increase participation levels in girls football," he explained. "Kinder+Sport and the EFL do a great job of running this tournament.
"It wouldn't be possible, though, without the help of the local football community and Bristol City themselves - it's nice to get them some silverware!"

The route to Wembley
More than 6,000 girls took part in the six-a-side competition which is organised by Kinder+Sport on behalf of the EFL and the EFL Trust, aiming to get children moving and promote active lifestyles.
Each of the 72 EFL clubs hosted a tournament for their local schools, with the winners earning the right to represent their club and wear their colours on the road to Wembley.
The winning representatives were then split into Northern and Southern sections, and the two regional winners - Bristol City and Shrewsbury Town - played at Wembley.
Representing City, was Gordano School, in what was their first entry into the Girls Cup. Wearing the blue and amber of Shrewsbury Town was Thomas Telford School. They were the reigning champions on their return to Wembley, and remained unbeaten en route to the final.
