Richmondshire Cricket Club is the new name on the Royal London Club Championship trophy courtesy of a five-wicket victory over Stanmore, in Bristol.
And captain Gary Pratt was not afraid to admit he shed a little tear as his side won in the final over at the Brightside Ground.
Chasing 122 to win (DLS), the club who beat three previous winners on route to the final, reached their target with four balls to spare.
Pratt, best known for running out Ricky Ponting when he came on as a substitute fielder in the 2005 Ashes Test at Trent Bridge, said; "I am not a great watcher when I'm not in control, so, to be honest, I didn't see a lot of our innings.
"However, I did shed a little tear when we hit the winning runs.
"It's up there with winning the Minor Counties with Cumberland and the Ashes moment, too."
The National club knockout competition is now in its 50th year, with Hampstead having been crowned inaugural champions, back in 1969.
However, on a day when heavy rain meant the game was initially reduced to 30 overs a side, there was to be no Middlesex winner this year.
Despite a spirited start from Stanmore, Pratt used his bowlers well either side of a rain break that saw the game reduced to 28 overs a side.
Matthew McKiernan, who made his senior Derbyshire debut earlier this summer, bowled well early on, before Pratt introduced himself, at the Pavilion End, in the 14th over.
Having been struck for six by Ahmad Elech off his first ball, the 36-year-old former Durham batsman then picked up Stanmore’s number three, caught behind for 13, two balls later.
From 65 for two, at the halfway stage, Stanmore slipped to 72 for six before Karia and Marc Reingold added 30 for the seventh wicket.
However, Richmondshire bowled and fielded well throughout and Stanmore captain Tushaar Karia felt his side were 30 runs short of a possible winning total.
"We bowled well in the end and did well to take it to the last over," he said. "However, I felt we needed to get to 150 to have a real chance of winning."
In reply to Stanmore's 120 for eight, Richmondshire made the worst possible start when Pratt departed for nine in the third over.
Thereafter, it was a far-from-easy run chase, with the Stanmore bowlers providing precious little width on a wicket that got slower by the over. "I suppose it was a typical Bristol wicket," said Pratt. "But we stuck in there and it's a great feeling."
After the early setback, Robert Carr and McKiernan bedded in and took the score past 50 with a rare boundary off the penultimate ball of the 14th over.
They continued to push and prod their way towards victory, with man of the match McKiernan leading the way with 44.
Stanmore refused to give in and the wickets of Carr, at 73 for two in the 19th over, Mike Layfield, Matthew Cowling and then McKiernan to a careless run out at 100-5, placed the game firmly back in the melting pot.
However, Sam Wood and Steven Mather steadied the ship and made the long journey back to Yorkshire a very enjoyable one.
