Douglas Royal completed a season of total dominance by adding the Women's Division One title to their Floodlit and FA Cup crowns.

Two wins in three days for Royal proved enough for them to edge out long-standing leaders Rushen United.

Royal beat Rushen 4-3 on Sunday in a game where a point for the southerners would have won them the title.

The Whites then finished the job with a 1-0 victory against Gymnasium on Tuesday evening.

A 70th-minute penalty from Donna Shimmin was enough to secure a memorable treble for Brian Cowin's side.
