Boro fans were treated to a trophy frenzy at the Riverside Stadium after the final home game of the season against Manchester City on Saturday.

Skipper Gareth Southgate and the first team squad went on a lap of honour with the Carling Cup they won so memorably in Cardiff in February.

But Steve McClaren's side weren't the only Boro team to bring a trophy back to Teesside this season.

The club's Under 18s, coached by Mark Proctor and Stephen Pears, won the FA Youth Cup for the first time last month over two legs against Aston Villa.

And the lads took their bow on Saturday in front of virtually a full house after the 2-1 success over City.

Also taking a bow were the Under 13 youngsters from Boro's Eston academy, who won the prestigious Cascais international event in Portugal.

The 16-man squad overcame the likes of Italian giants AC Milan and crack Portuguese outfit Benfica to lift the Cascais Football crown in Estoril.

Boro beat Portuguese sides Tires (3-0) and Cultural (4-0) before drawing with Benfica 1-1 to qualify for the second group stage.

They then beat Italian giants AC Milan (2-1) and Portuguese side Leixoes (3-0) before drawing 1-1 with Sporting Lisbon to progress, on goal difference, to meet Spanish side Huelva in the final.

The two sides drew 1-1 after extra time, and Boro won 3-1 on penalties, with Billy Greulich netting the winning spot-kick.

The winning squad was: Owen Lancaster, Matthew Ellwood, Philip Shead, Nicholas Petch, Christopher Sharville, Sam Richardson, Tom Portas, Jordan Robinson, Josh Fowler, Jack McVey, Ryan Noble, Billy Greulich, Ross Gardener, Paul Weldon, Kaine McDonald and Cameron Park.

And the fourth team to parade their silverware to the appreciative Riverside crowd on Saturday were the lads from The Avenue School in Nunthorpe.

Remarkably, the team emulated Boro's Millennium Stadium cup success just a few weeks later in March when they won the final of the national Kelloggs Frosties six-a-side competition in the Welsh capital.

The youngsters even travelled to Cardiff in Boro's first team coach before scoring their victory over a school from Oxford ahead of the LDV Vans Trophy final between Blackpool and Southend at the Millennium Stadium on March 21.

The school team took part in the regional finals of the competition at Boro's Football Community Centre in Eston.

The Avenue team, consisting of Under 11s, then won the Northern finals to reach Cardiff. The team - Liam Jowers, Louis O'Lone, Adam Kett, Thomas Conroy, Michael Blakey, Daniel Johnson, John Robson and Callum Swinnerton - paraded their cup on the Riverside pitch in front of more than 30,000 supporters before lining up with Teesside's other big winners.
