Young footballers have won back a Bristol schools cup 51 years after their predecessors lifted it for the first time.

The Coronation Cup has been held in the city since Queen Elizabeth II took to the throne in 1953.

A team from Broomhill Junior School won the competition back in 1958 and the current footballers took the title again this year.

The current team members will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of one of the players in the 1958 match, who went on to have a professional football career.

Former Broomhill Junior School pupil David Jenkins, went on to play for Bristol City, before joining Arsenal alongside Bob Wilson.

The 10- and 11-year-olds played Bridge Farm Primary School in the final and won the match 4-2.

It was a memorable day for one of the school's support assistants Elizabeth Willis, whose brother was in the school's first Coronation Cup-winning team.

She said: "It makes it all a family thing.

"I went up to watch the final, and if my brother was able to he would have been."

The youngsters started their run to the final in September when they faced St Nicholas Of Tolentine Catholic Primary School, which ended in a 2-2 draw that had to go to a replay, which they won.

They then went on to play Clifton College before meeting Teyfant Community School in the quarter finals and Bristol Grammar School in the semi-finals.

Oaklan Buck, 11, the team captain, scored the winning goal in the final game.

He said: "It's amazing winning after 51 years.

"It was a hard team in the final and good to get the trophy back after so many years.

"Mr Thomas was a great manager and always encouraged us."

Jak Carley, 11, said: "It was amazing to get to the final.

"It was a great season, especially to win the cup.

"Almost everyone in the team scored a goal at some point."

School headteacher Colin Thompson said: "What is great is that the children, through the sport and competitive sports, learn the values of our school – collaboration, resilience and respect.

"We are very supportive of sports right across the school and it is particularly good if we do well. Winning the Coronation Cup has really boosted the morale of the whole school and the community have really got behind the children and felt proud."
