Clifton Without Junior School football team had a remarkable season winning five out of a possible seven trophies played for by Under-11 teams in York and district.

They started the campaign by winning the York Parent Teacher Association five-a-side tournament and went on to be crowned North Yorkshire champions.

After qualifying through the north of York area round, then the York round, Clifton faced the top schools in the county. Victory against Harrogate's representatives, Pannal, in the final meant Clifton lifted the North Yorkshire silverware.

They then won the Cade Trophy for the second time in four years.

In January, Clifton competed in the York City Football in the Community six-a-side tournament, winning the competition at Huntington School.

The following month Clifton represented York City against the top school teams in the north of England at Huddersfield. They won the group stages, beating eventual finalists Leeds United.

Last month Clifton retained the Primary League division 'A' championship, finishing the season undefeated.

They rounded off their golden wonder season by lifting the Primary Cup as joint winners with St Wilfreds after the final at Bootham Crescent.
