Rising football stars at a Chester school have taken victory in an annual six-a-side tournament.
The Abbey Gate College Under 11 football team won the event held at Ellesmere College, continuing their fine run of form in the tournament, where they were defeated finalists last year. Teams are invited from across Cheshire, Shropshire and North Wales.
Two wins and a defeat saw the team progress through from the group stages, before a 1-0 victory and a win on penalties against Rydal Penhros saw the team reach the final for the second year running.
Prestfelde Prep school from Shrewsbury awaited the team in the final, which went to a dramatic penalty shoot-out.
Keeper Adam Povey made two crucial penalty saves and the task fell to Morgan Cox to stroke home the winning spot-kick for the college.
One player of note during the tournament was Hugo Cook, who played with a mature head and had a positive impact on how the squad played.
