On Friday 29 January, Bolton Wanderers Football in the Community hosted its Local Area Stage of the Premier League U11 Schools Tournament at Bolton Arena with 20 Schools from across Bolton participated.

With some great football played in a fantastic spirit throughout the tournament, the final was between Claypool and Brownlow Fold.

After normal playing time the game was tied 1-1 and extra time was needed to separate the sides. Claypool ran out 5-1 winners and will now go through to the Regional Final to represent Bolton Wanderers on 23 March at Hull City.
