Bromley Not The Only Wembley Winners On Final Day

By Tom Scott

Bromley and Gateshead weren't the only National League sides to win at Wembley on Promotion Final weekend.

A couple of hours before Bromley and Solihull Moors took to the Wembley turf last week, the National League Trust held their U11s Cup Finals.

AFC Fylde - represented by Heyhouses Endowed Church of England Primary School - triumphed in the Girls Final, beating Slough Town.

In the Mixed Final, Oldham Athletic - represented by St Herbert's RC Primary School - saw off Aldershot Town.

Schools from across the country competed in a six-a-side tournament for the chance to play in the Final at Wembley Stadium.

All National League clubs are invited to enter and this year 50 took part with each club running a tournament for their local schools for both events.

Winners and runners-up from these tournaments then go on to represent their club in one of eight regional finals before then going on to North and South semi-finals.

This year over 1,000 schools were involved across all stages of the U11s Cup, meaning more than 8,000 children took part.

After winning their respective finals on the Wembley turf, both winning sides then did the climb up the famous steps to the Royal Box to collect their trophies.
