On February 11, Woodlands Primary from Bradwell won the girls-only tournament, edging out Norwich’s Firside Junior School in the final.
The Premier League Primary Stars football tournament is the country’s most prestigious football tournament for primary schools.
Little Plumstead and Woodlands Primary will now go on to represent Norwich City FC for the National Finals at Watford FC’s Vicarage Road stadium on May 17, where they’ll be joined by the 19 other Premier League representative winners.

"The way you guys made the whole day seem so special was incredible. Just after the boys walked out to the premier league music for the final, one of them said "I will remember this day for the rest of my life!""
