Llandovery great Lee Rees signed off with a Super Rygbi Cymru title triumph after a 27-10 win at Ebbw Vale.
The Drovers, champions in 2023 and 2024, followed up their semi-final win at Cardiff by beating the Steelmen at Eugene Cross Park.
A double by wing Harri Doel early in the second half proved to be the turning point of what had been a tight encounter.
That was followed by scrum-half Rees, in his 402nd and last game of a Drovers career that started in 2008, getting the clinching try.
It was another painful defeat on home soil for Ebbw Vale, who lost the 2025 Grand Final to Gwent rivals Newport.

After penalties were traded, it was Ebbw that went over for the first try thanks to an 11-man driving line-out that led to hooker Corey Lewis going over.
Drovers levelled when centre Rhodri Jones hit a hard line to power over but the visitors' inefficiency in the 22 – and faltering line-out – meant that they failed to make the most of the wind at their backs.
That theme continued in the second half until they eventually ground down the Ebbw defence, in which Canada flanker Sion Parry was a constant menace, for Doel to cross down the right.
The wing then raced down the same flank straight from the restart after a superb break by livewire Scarlets full-back Jac Davies.
Hughes converted to make it 22-10 but missed a penalty that would have made it a three-score game on the hour.
Rees ensured that would not matter when he displayed footballing skills with both feet to go over from a loose ball for a 27-10 lead.
The Steelmen, who edged a thriller with Newport to make the final, did not allow heads to drop but had to settle for being runners-up for the second season on the bounce after being scoreless in the second half.
To add to their misery, lock Dylan Bartlett was sent off for a dangerous clear-out in the last minute.
