St Paul's secured a win against the Wollondilly Soliders in the Highlands Soccer Association Youth Grade Cup.
The game was played under lights at Bundanoon's Ferndale Reserve last Thursday.
A small but enthusiastic crowd that braved the cold conditions were entertained by an enthralling game that was decided by penalties.
Wollondilly held a slender 1-0 lead at half time.
The Soldiers led 3-2 in the second half, until a last-minute equaliser sent the St Paul's supporters into rapture and the match to penalties.
St Paul's goalkeeper Tim Oon pulled off two saves that saw St Paul's win the match 4-2 after penalties.
The result means that the team will face Bundanoon in the semi-finals of the competition.
St Paul's is celebrating the college's 30th anniversary.
The team's first win gives the college something else to celebrate.
