The girls, who are sponsored by Sainsbury's, beat St Martin's school from Essex 2-4 to go forward to the national semi-finals of the Minute-Maid Schools Cup, Europe's largest 11-a-side football competition.

The team will face the south-west champions in the next game which will be held at the Madejski Stadium, home to Reading Football Club.

Brian Sparks, duty manager at the store and pictured with the team, said: 'It is an honour to support a local ladies' football team and I am delighted they have progressed to the semi-final '“ I hope to go to support them.'
