Brownlow, meanwhile, were the bridesmaids, finishing runners-up in both competitions, played in an excellent spirit.

Other schools competing were Swallowdale, Gaddesby, Sherard Old Dalby and Harby.

Amateurs liason officer Jason Gamble said: “It gave some of the girls some experience of football who hadn’t had the opportunity to play before.

“It also helped us to put ourselves out there as a club, showing what we have on offer for girls’ football in the area.”
