The Rams ran into a two goal lead through Owen Eames and a thunderous strike from Demaine Agustien, before Finlay Gorman tapped in to reduce the deficit.
In a second-half fightback, substitute Ryan McAidoo fired City level before Matty Warhurst poked in our third to put us ahead for the first time in the match.
Tristan Gill managed to squeeze the ball in from a corner to dampen City hearts, but Warhurst grabbed the vital winning goal in added time to hand us the Under-18 Premier League North title.
And after the celebrations, Braithwaite praised his teammates.
āIām lost for words,ā the City Under-18s captain began.
āI think the team showed great character from the start of the game, we always thought we could win and to do it in that fashion is just unbelievable.
āWe stuck together as a team, communication now is a big one, and our intensity from the first whistle was unbelievable and in the second-half they couldnāt handle us.
āWe know the seasonās not finished, we have one more big game [FA Youth Cup final] and Newcastle after that so we need to keep pushing.
āSo celebrate now, then focus on the next couple of games.ā
