Ringwood Junior School's eight-man football squad made it to the Premier League Primary Stars national finals.

Representing AFC Bournemouth, they had a successful debut by winning a local New Forest and Bournemouth tournament.

The national finals took place at Brentford FC's Gtech Community stadium on June 12.

They did not lose any games and did not concede a single goal in group matches against Tottenham FC, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Crystal Palace and Luton Town.

Despite finishing second in the group, they narrowly missed out on the semi-finals by one point.

Mr Dunningham, Year 6 leader, said: "The players have performed so well this season and deserve immense credit for their achievements."
