March Town Youth FC has celebrated a historic weekend, as multiple youth squads clinched major regional tournament titles.

The March Town U11 Girls Red team also impressed, although they were unfortunate not to progress to the semi-finals.

The U7 Boys team also enjoyed success, winning the Yaxley Tournament.

Having only entered two tournaments this summer, the team has won both, adding the Yaxley title to their recent triumph at Outwell.

The boys won their group phase undefeated with four wins, scoring 14 goals and securing three clean sheets while conceding just once.

They went on to win a tense semi-final before defeating hosts Yaxley in a thrilling final.

Playing in front of a huge crowd, the young players showed maturity beyond their years, overcoming the intense noise and pressure to secure the win.

The team's management said: "To go to two tournaments and win them both against such strong opposition is unbelievable, but the way they handled the environment was the most impressive part.

"The noise from the crowd and the boards was deafening, but the boys overcame it all to secure the win. We couldn't be prouder of them."

Free football sessions are currently on offer for all ages, with particular interest in girls currently in school Years 5 and 6 who live in March, Chatteris, and the surrounding areas.

The club aims to provide a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment focused on teamwork.
