The festival, which attracts some of the nation's top teenage players, took place at the weekend, when more than 40 school teams converged on the historic city.

Ardingly College 1st XI played four fiercely-fought matches in the three days and got off to a flying start, beating Bristol Grammar School 4-2. Although Saturday saw them lose 4-3 to Methodist College, Belfast, Ardingly went on to beat Calday Grange Grammar School, Wirral, 3-0 and Sussex rivals Seaford College 1-0.

Charlie Pollard was the side's top goal scorer, but the stars of the show were Ferdinand Prinz in the heart of defence and David Tuckwell who captained the side expertly and also managed to score his first Ardingly goal in the game against Methodist College.
