Five teams played each other on a round robin basis during the second Inter School Girls Festival, which was organised to support local primary schools.

Robert Windle, organiser, said: "We were delighted to give the girls an opportunity to play football as there's very little chance for them to do that in the town.

"Whittlesey Junior Football Club is looking to start a new girls section - that's our end goal."

Sponsored by the Peterborough & Fenland Referee Development Scheme all the girls and match officials received gold medals from the Mayor of Whittlesey Cllr Julie Windle.
