Before Luton Town triumphed against Coventry City in the Championship play-off, the stage belonged to Watford - or specifically their representatives Brookmans Park Primary School.
They won the Championship Utilita Kids Cup at Wembley, a competition providing a unique opportunity of lifting a trophy at the national stadium.
Each school represented one of the EFL championship clubs, Park standing in for the Hornets, and the 1-0 victory over Concord Junior School, representing Sheffield United, landed them the trophy.
Brookmans Park captain Harry Talbot said: "It's amazing to have the opportunity to play here.
"All the famous captains that have took a trophy up there and lifted it, it's just amazing."
It was a sentiment shared by teacher David Fennel.
He said: "They'll remember it forever and I'll remember it forever as well, so what a day."
James Heyes, head of group partnerships at Utilita, added: "As always, it’s been an honour to play our part in the competition and I’m delighted that Utilita’s support has enhanced the opportunities available for thousands of schoolchildren across England and Wales.
"Reaching the final was no easy feat but all the hard work paid off in the form of a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
"A huge congratulations to the winners, Brookmans Park Primary School. I hope both teams enjoyed themselves, not just playing on that glorious pitch, but the overnight stay and VIP treatment throughout the national stadium.
"Our finalists should be exceptionally proud of what they have achieved."
The players were presented the Kids Cup trophy by Welwyn Garden City's own David James.
The competition sees over 12,000 boys and girls, aged under 11, playing at local and regional stages.
The teams are first split into three divisions, in line with each EFL club’s divisional status, before being again split into two groups, north and south.
The winners of the divisional northern and southern finals qualify to play on the national stadium’s pristine pitch in front of thousands of fans before an EFL Final.
