Forres Legion 2 cued up a dramatic Moray snooker team championship success to pip their Elgin rivals at the death.
The quartet of Stephen Hepburn, Simon Bremner, James McKenzie and Sean Hepburn snatched glory from reigning champions The New Club 1 from Elgin at the death.
New Club needed a point from their home tie against the Legion team to secure a third consecutive title, while an away win would give the Forres club their first championship.
The match started in perfect fashion for the away team as they raced into a four-frame lead. The New Club 1 players could only watch on as large leads were overturned in three of the four opening frames. However, the champions responded and reeled off the next five to lead 5-4.
This meant the Elgin side needed only one frame from the final three to clinch the title. Each frame was a tense affair but the Legion held their nerve to win all three and seize the trophy.
Hepburn was also awarded the player of the season trophy.
