The club resurrected their annual competition to celebrate the opening of new facilities at Bull Holme, and attracted clubs from as far afield as Huddersfield, Wigan, Preston and Blackburn, while scouts from Manchester United, Liverpool, Everton, Burnley, Blackpool and Oldham Athletic took the opportunity to cast an eye over the talent on show.

On Saturday, the Under 9s and 11s played at Bull Holme, with the Under 13s in action at Swinden, and on Sunday, it was the turn of the Under 10s and 12s at Bull Holme, and the Under 14s at Swinden.

See Friday’s Nelson Leader for results and more details.
