A team of girls from Saltergate Schools in Harrogate received a hero's welcome back at school after being crowned county football champions.
The team competed in the County Champions Finals in Richmond yesterday (Wednesday).
And after remaining unbeaten throughout the seven matches and scoring 18 goals, the team were named as champions.
In a thrilling finale, the girls capped off their competition with a decisive 6-0 win.
Headteacher, Mrs Jo Hall said:
“The entire Saltergate community is bursting with pride at this remarkable achievement.
"The girls worked so hard to bring the trophy home and I know we will be celebrating their success for some time.”
Mrs Hall added:
“My thanks go to the staff and parents who supported the children at the event. We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Rossett School, who kindly transported the team to the finals in one of their minibuses.
"Their support has been invaluable, and we are delighted that they have already offered to assist us again for our next match.”

Upon their return to school, the team were greeted by a chorus of cheers from pupils and staff, as well as signs congratulating them.
Saltergate School has long been a proud advocate of girls' football, with former pupil Rachel Daly serving as an inspiring figure for future generations.
Daly attended Saltergate School prior progressing to Rossett School and before rising to fame as a star player for England in the World Cup.
With the county title in hand, the team now sets its sights on the Regionals, ready to carry forward the legacy of Saltergate’s football excellence.
