CONYERS School, Yarm have made further progress in the country's biggest football tournament for girls and boys, the Coca-Cola National Schools Cup.

The competition, run jointly with the English Schools Football Association for under-13 boys and girls, is in its second year with more than 2,200 school teams and 37,500 children taking part.

The tournament follows a similar knockout format to that of the FA Cup and youngsters are given a dream opportunity to play on Premiership pitches in the final stages of the competition.

Conyers School have qualified for the Northern Schools Cup after defeating Ormesby School 4-1 in the Cleveland boys' county cup final played at King's Academy School, Coulby Newham last week.

Ormesby broke the deadlock on the hour through Jackson, but Conyers were soon level when a cross from the right was side-footed home from close range by half-time substitute Luke Purvis.

Jamie Davison then put Conyers ahead when he calmly slotted in a penalty awarded for handball by an Ormesby defender.

As Ormesby pushed men forward to try to get back in the game, they were caught out twice by powerful long-range shots from Purvis and Davison.

But there was some consolation for Ormesby as they were granted a wildcard entry into the Northern Schools Cup.

Both teams will now compete for the chance to play at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium in the Northern Schools Cup finals. A win there will put them into the national finals at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge.

Conyers have been drawn at home to Longbenton Community College, Newcastle, with the game kicking off at 1.30 on Wednesday.

Ormesby were due to play at City School, Sheffield last Wednesday.
