Woodlanders FC bring home the cup in a league mainly made up of boys
A girls' under-10s football team has won a cup in a league of mainly boys' teams.
Woodlanders FC are the first all-girls team to win the Huddersfield Junior Football League Vase.
Last season the team lost every game, as they battled in a league of more experienced teams.
But their determination paid off and this season they've made history with the cup win!

Woodlanders FC won the final of the Huddersfield Junior Football League against an almost all-boys' team, who were five divisions above them!
It was a closely fought game, ending 3-2.
Woodlanders had previously beaten other boys' teams from across the region and experienced a 28-match winning streak in the league.
On social media, their coach described it as a "massive achievement" and showed the girls "can play against boys and be more than a match for them".
