Bolton School Boys' Division Junior School has won the Bolton Primary Schools' 7-a-side Football Cup Final. They overcame St Mary's Deane 6-3 in a thrilling final.

Bolton School gained the early initiative and built up a commanding half-time lead of 5-1, with Sam Hart scoring a hat-trick, including a penalty, while Michael Brookwell and Will Dowie contributed one each.

Early in the second half "Mo" Seedat was put through to score Bolton School's sixth. A spirited display from St Mary's saw them pull back another 2 goals.

Headmaster Mr Michael Percik said: "This was a fitting finale to a wonderful season in which our team has regularly played excellent passing football. The last game is always remembered and I am sure all the players, the ever faithful family supporters and I will treasure it. Well done boys and many thanks to Mr Rashleigh and Mr Duxbury for all the input which produced such a fine team."
