“It is the Girls Cup for the Football League Trust and Fleetwood High won the competition. They will now represent the football club in the next round.
“They will go on to play different schools in the North West in January.
“It is important that we host events at Poolfoot Farm and Fuse Football and showing the residents that we are here for a reason to work alongside the local community.”

Mark Cooper, a teacher at Lytham St Annes, told the Club website it is a brilliant that the girls can compete at Fuse Football.
He said: “We have competed in this competition for the last four years. It is a positive experience for the girls to come and play at Fuse Football.
