A team of top footballing youngsters have netted a fantastic victory to take home the first league title in the club's history.

Eldwick Juniors under-7s team remained on the ball in their first season playing together to clinch the Keybury Youth League section B title.

Scoring 107 goals and conceding only eight in 20 games, the budding David Beckhams are now being hunted by Premier club scouts. Manager Rick Metcalfe, 37, said he was delighted and was looking forward to training with them again next season.

"Eldwick teams are used to getting beaten 12-0, 9-0, or other scores just as bad. In our first game we won 9-1 and it just carried on from there.

"Normally we suffer because the youngsters play for the under-7s and then head off to better clubs, but this time they are staying."

It is the first time in more than 20 years that an Eldwick team, from the under-7s to the under-17s, has clinched a title in junior football.

And players Jacob Hazel, seven, and Tom Cummins, seven, have already been picked to play for the elite Leeds United and Bradford City Academies.

Mr Metcalfe added: "I feel very proud of all of them.

"They have come through this season as a team to be reckoned with.

''And it's nice to know that the scouts come to lower level football to watch the young ones.

"Each player seems to be able to play their own position and fortunately they fit very well together as a team.''

He added: "Last season we had some really bad weather and when I phoned them to let them know the game was off they would be virtually in tears because they do love to get out on the field.

"It really has been worth spending my spare time managing them. They are a great bunch of kids."

A presentation day will be held this summer to celebrate the win.

The team will resume in August as the under-8s and continue to train at Eldwick Recreational Ground and play its home games at Eldwick Primary School.
