SAINTS academy defender Will Armitage helped loan club Aldershot Town win 3-0 over Spennymoor Town to claim the FA Trophy at Wembley.
The Shots, managed by former Saint Tommy Widdrington, who is assisted by Richard Dryden, have won the trophy for the first time in their history.
Jack Barham put the National League side in front early in the second half before Dan Ellison, on loan from Bristol Rovers, headed in from a corner with 20 minutes left.
Enjoy it, Shots. This is for you ❤️💙 pic.twitter.com/SFnrN1uJ9T

Josh Barrett volleyed a spectacular late third goal to round things off for Aldershot, who finished 16th in the National League.
Former Cheltenham Town centre-back Armitage played a full 90 minutes at Wembley, the site of Southampton's Championship play-off triumph a year ago.
The 20 year old has made 20 appearances for the Shots since joining them on loan in January, having been a regular for Southampton's Under-21s.
