PENALTIES were needed to separate two talented junior teams at an annual football tournament.
A total of 21 year six teams from primary schools across Welwyn Hatfield gathered at Sir Frederic Osborn School in WGC, each hoping to secure the coveted winners' medals.
Following a number of round-robin matches, the final was contested between St John's Digswell and Springmead.
And it went all the way to penalties, St John's eventually triumphing after a tense shootout.
The bronze medals were collected by Welwyn St Mary's, who defeated Peartree in the competition's third-place play-off.
Jo Moxham, school sport co-ordinator at Sir Freds, branded the event a success and said all the students who took part had a good time.
