Pallister Park were the bridesmaids on three occasions at The North of England Primary Schools Soccer Festival at the weekend.

The Middlesbrough school finished as runners-up in the three different categories, and thus, missed out on a football strip provided by Premier Kits UK who supplied the winners with a full strip.

Winners - Year Three and Four Mixed (eight and nine years old): Wheatlands, Redcar.

Year Five and Six Girls (ten and 11 year olds): St Bernadettes Babes, Nunthorpe.

Year Five and Six Boys (ten and 11 year olds): Marton Grove, Middlesbrough.

Organiser, Andy Clay, said: "The festival certainly lived up to all expectations. This is the first time anything like this has been organised so we knew it had to be good."

Teesside and Cleveland Trophies provided the silverware, Middlesbrough Council donated goody bags and The North Riding County FA provided medals.
