Norton & Stockton Ancients junior football club hosted their first football tournament at the weekend with a mammoth 104 teams competing.
Over 400 matches were played on 17 pitches while two teams travelled from Essex to take part - all of it taking place on Sunday.
Played at the Norton Sports Complex, organiser Peter Ellis was delighted with the day, and explained why the club decided to host such a big event.
"We've been to tournaments before and we've been to some bad ones so we thought 'we can do better than that'.
"But we didn't realise the amount of infrastructure involved in organising something like this."
The two teams from Essex, Link Lions and Link FC, had both learnt of the tournament when visiting Norton's web-site - www.nortonfootball.co.uk - which almost tempted an entry from a junior club in Holland.
Ellis, and fellow organisers Peter Aldridge and Dave Geldart, plan on holding the event again next summer.
