Young footballers from South Farnham School will play at Wembley Stadium next month before the National League Playoff final.

The Year 6 boys will represent the school, Aldershot Town FC and the south of England in the final of the National League Trust under-11s tournament on May 5.

They will walk down the famous Wembley tunnel and play on the pitch that has graced many England stars and cup final dramas.

South Farnham entered the first round in September, getting through the group stage. They then defeated Havant & Waterlooville 2-0 and beat Slough on penalties in the regional final.

Headteacher Esther Whitbourn said: “We are so proud of the achievements of the children over the past year.

“Not only have they been incredibly successful, but they have also shown incredible sportsmanship and teamwork.

“To have the opportunity to play at Wembley will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we can’t wait to celebrate their continued success!”

Following the game the boys will head up the famous steps to the royal box for the presentations in front of the fans waiting for the playoff final to begin. They will then get the chance to watch the final.

Lead coordinator of the Shots Foundation, Jamie MacAllister, said: “We have never made it past the regional tournament before, so this really is special.

“I've been with the team throughout, and beyond their obvious footballing ability, the level of sportsmanship and the way they have presented themselves has been fantastic.

“They are truly a credit to us at Aldershot Town FC, their school and most importantly themselves. I can't wait to journey with them to the home of English football and hopefully see them lift the trophy!"

The boys paraded their trophies around the pitch at Aldershot’s EBB Stadium at half-time off the Easter Monday fixture against Dorking Wanderers.
