Children from across east London descended on Powerleague Shoreditch to take part in a special football tournament organised to raise money for Comic Relief.
The eight primary schools who sent boys and girls team to compete were Christ Church CofE, who were the hosts, Sir John Cass, Mayflower, Osmani, Cyril Jackson, Old Palace, Hague and Mowlem.
Old Palace had reason to celebrate in the girls’ competition as their team were the victors.
Mayflower, meanwhile, were the winners of the boys’ competition having turned in some impressive displays.
