For the players, teachers and coaches at Willows Primary School and Altrincham FC Community Sports, this summer will be one they will never forget.
The Willows team were one of 20 primary schools from across England and Wales that travelled to Wolverhampton Wanderers' Molineux Stadium for this year's Premier League Primary Stars Girls' Football Tournament.
Not only did they have the chance to experience life as a Premier League footballer for a day, Willows Primary had the added honour of bringing home the 2025 trophy after they defeated Luton Town's Leighton Middle School in the final.
Here Andrew Jones, a community coach at Altrincham FC, explains what the football tournament and being a part of the Premier League Primary Stars programme means for the pupils he works with.
"From the start, the day has been crazy, wonderful and a massive learning curve for everyone involved. The Premier League should be so proud of what they've put on here. The effort they go into to make us feel special is incredible.
"Winning this puts us on the map. We're little old Altrincham and we've come here today and upset the odds. It's just been amazing.
"I'm feeling emotional. Words can't describe it. I coached some of these girls when they were four-years-old at a mini-kickers session. This is like a crescendo to all of that. I couldn't be prouder.
"When they picked up the trophy, I was thinking 'don't cry.'
"I'm so happy for them. We knew we had a good team, we knew we had a good set of girls but for them to then prove to everybody that they are as good as we think, it's amazing.
"It will affect them off the pitch as well.
"These girls will take it in their stride, I've never met a more humble bunch. The funding means that they can go on and have a better career because they've had experiences like this.
"The main message they will get from this is the belief that they can achieve whatever they want to achieve if they put their minds to it.
"They're intelligent, they're inquisitive, they can do whatever they want to do, and that's what is great about this Premier League event.
"For girls football this is unbelievably important. Look at what we've put on today. Some of the football on show has been incredible, that final was one of the best games of football I've seen.
"Premier League Primary Stars is a programme we stumbled across a few years ago and it's changed us as a community. It's changing lives.
"The fact that it's not just the Premier League clubs that get the funding is so important.
"The amount of lives that it touches is incredible. I get to see it first hand going into schools. The amount of happy faces I see and the amount of sessions that I get to do, it's just an incredible experience for me and for them.
"The Premier League values of being ambitious, connected, inspiring and fair, they mean everything to to us and the kids. It gives them life lessons.
"They are Year 6 girls and they have taught lessons to a 35-year-old.
"I will take away from this whole experience that anything is possible. We're just a small football club and we've come to a Premier League tournament and achieved something."
