Chingford Church of England Under-11 football team will represent Tottenham Hotspur at Everton's Goodison Park in May after winning a six-a-side tournament.

Having previously qualified to represent Waltham Forest in the finals of the tournament, Chingford C of E found themselves up against schools from the London Boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey at Spurs' training ground.  

Chingford made it through the league stage of the competition by winning all six of their games, setting up a meeting against St Ignatius School from Haringey in the semi-final.

Chingford went through to the final following a penalty shoot-out thanks to the performance of goalkeeper George Murray Jones.

The final against Woodcroft Primary from Barnet was a close affair but a late Derin Mehmet goal separated the two sides.

Chingford will now represent Tottenham in the annual Premier League Under- 11’s tournament which will take place at the 40,000 capacity Goodison Park on May 17.

Deputy Headteacher Ian Osborne coaches the team and said: “This is a wonderful achievement for the team.

"To earn the opportunity to play at a top Premier League team’s ground in a nationally acclaimed tournament is a dream come true for the boys.”
