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."
Anyone wanting to join Bowerham Bombers or the Lune and District 7-a-side league can contact John on 381718.
