COLCHESTER Villa Blues' under-12s reigned supreme at the Sporting 77 tournament in Braintree.
They progressed through their group as unbeaten champions and only conceded two goals in five games.
The team went through a big restructure this year, having lost several players, but are now doing well under the management of Arron Graham and Chris Sargeant.
After a slow start to last season, being rooted to the bottom of the league, they eventually went on to finish third in the A League, as well as being Open Cup finalists.
They are now looking forward to next season at 11-a-side.
