Saltergate Schools' girls were crowned winners at a tournament in Harrogate yesterday.

A talented team of footballers from Saltergate Schools have won a tournament hosted by Harrogate Town Football club and The Premier League Primary Stars Programme.

The Saltergate girls team were crowned winners of the competition held at Rossett Sports Centre yesterday (Tuesday), remaining undefeated throughout and scoring 20 goals.

The tournament was contested by girl’s school teams from across the area.

The win means Saltergate’s girls are now through to the Premier League Primary Stars Regional Qualifiers, which will be held in Newcastle on the 11th March.
