EFL Kids Cup Champions Day

The 6-a-side matches saw the highest-placing sides from the preliminary ‘heat’ rounds last year go head-to-head and battle it out to see who would represent Norwich City on the road to Wembley.

Participating schools included:

• Acle St Edmunds C of E Primary School
• Ashleigh Primary School
• Blofield Primary School
• Hillcrest Primary School
• Langley School
• Taverham VC CE Junior School
• Stalham Infant & Junior School
• Woodlands Primary Academy

After a round-robin style tournament where all teams had the opportunity to play each other, it was Ashleigh Primary School and Langley School who would progress to the final.

Congratulations to Langley, who emerged victorious after an extremely competitive final that saw end-to-end football, a stellar penalty and ultimately concluded in a shoot-out after finishing 1-1.

The victory ensures Langley will now go on to don the yellow and green of the Canaries as they head into the national round of the competition.

Well done to all the teams who took part in this year’s competition, and we look forward to seeing you all back at The Nest next year!
