England win World Cup in Oughtibridge

Posted on: Wed 23 Jun 2010

England football team wins the World Cup! Not in South Africa, but in Oughtibridge.

Pupils from Oughtibridge Primary School took part in a World Cup themed sports day, organised by The United Initiative, Sheffield United's community programme.

Former Blades stars Mark Todd and Adrian Littlejohn were on hand to help out as the kids took each other on in a variety of football skills before everyone was put into international teams to determine a World Cup winner.

Both the infant and junior teams representing England came out on top to win the fun filled event.

Mark, community development manager at Sheffield United, said: "It really was an excellent day, we had some fantastic feedback from the parents and those taking part."

Mark added: "Everyone managed to get a game and, it was great to see the teams representing England bucking the trend of what's been happening on the pitch in South Africa!"

"It is so good to see how committed Sheffield United are in supporting their local schools."
