Two young footballers from Monmouth Comprehensive School are celebrating being league champions.

Emily Bressington from Rockfield and Jesse Davies, of Dingestow, are part of the Mardy Tigers U12 Yellows, who won the South Wales Gwent Girls League.

Out of 12 games the youngsters won 10, drew one and lost one, scoring 57 goals and conceding only five.

The girls have qualified for Division 1 and in the build-up to the final in April  will travel as far as Swansea.

In the final game, due to the team captain being injured, Emily took over as captain and led the girls to victory.

Striker Jesse played her part by contributing many of the goals.

Manager Kevin Bressington praised the team's committment and talent, saying he is confident they will enjoy the new challenges ahead in Division 1.

Mardy Tigers, which is based in Abergavenny, was founded 10 years ago by Wayne Jeremiah the club coach and organiser, who was named the Community Coach of the Year by the Football Association of Wales at their recent awards night in Cardiff.
