A LOCAL junior football club is celebrating after scooping top honours in a major football tournament.

The Bowerham Bombers won the under 11s and under 10s section of the Scotia Morecambe and Lancaster Easter Football Festival at Preston Sports Arena.

In a thrilling contest, the under 11s put out the competition favourites in the semi-final and then clawed their way back from 3-0 down to eventually win 6-4.

In a closely fought match, the under 10s were level after full time but edged it 3-2 in extra time.

Manager John Bouskill said: "The results were awesome.

"I must admit that I thought the under 11s had lost it when they went 3-0 down but to get back into it and win was tremendous.

"Everyone played fantastically well - we're delighted."
