Bognor are celebrating their first-ever Sussex Trophy success thanks to a textbook display of bad-weather rugby in the final at wet and windy Waterhall.
The West Sussex club beat Eastbourne 36-17, despite conceding an early try with the wind at their backs.
A penalty try put them ahead and further scores followed from Paul Mitchell, Lee Balchin, Roy Sargeant and Billy Toone.
Fly half Rob Parry helped them harness the atrocious conditions and added four conversions and a penalty.
Ali Coombe, James Coulthard and Joe Tobin crossed for Eastbourne.
Bognor player/coach Karl Flynn revealed: "We said from the off 'whoever controls the conditions wins the ball game' and I think we did that straight away."
