The Blaze Academy have secured the T20 Regional Academy Festival title after a successful three days of action at Oakham School.
The East Midlands region won five of their six games, with all teams from the national domestic structure competing in Leicestershire.
That included wins versus Sunrisers and Western Storm on the first day, with 35-run and seven-wicket triumphs respectively.
The second victory included a tournament top-score of 80 from 52 balls for wicketkeeper-batter Annie Williams, who finished second top run scorer with 150 and claimed seven stumpings.
On day two, The Blaze edged past Northern Diamonds by five runs to secure their passage through to Group One of the final stage, where they beat Central Sparks by four wickets.
On the final day, The Blaze succumbed to their first defeat to Sunrisers with DLS setting a target of 82 from 9.5 overs.
They rallied, though, to beat Southern Vipers by 30 runs, with captain Lara Shaw making her second score in the forties across the tournament to ensure her side won the title.
Rhiannon Knowling-Davies finished top wicket-taker with 10, while Maria Andrews and Prisha Thanawala each claimed nine.
As a product of their performances, eight Academy players - Flora Davies, Prisha Thanawala, Annie Williams, Olivia Baker, Maria Andres, Evee-Mae Hicklin, Katie Fidler and Sophia McCollum - have now been selected for the North vs North fixture on Tuesday 13 August, with 24 selected from across the four northern regions.
