Dunmow Rovers under-13 girls had to settle for a 2-2 draw at Writtle Minors on a hot Sunday afternoon.
They began brightly and took the lead inside 10 minutes as Maisie Dowsett ran onto Caris Thompson's through ball to score.
But they hit the woodwork five times in the match, with Tilly Belcher unlucky on four occasions, as Dowsett doubled the lead with a left-footed strike.
Writtle hit back and, in the final minute, grabbed an equaliser as Dunmow finished runners-up for a second successive season.
*AFC Barnston clinched the Braintree & North Essex Sunday League Division One title with double-header success against Witham United.
