FOOTBALLERS at Ryedale School have made it through to the North Yorkshire County Cup final for the first time in 25 years.

The Under-14s beat Easingwold School 3-2 in the semi-final, thanks to a brace from Tim Sharples.

The youngsters, who have already seen off Stokesley and Archbishop Holgate's schools, are now waiting to discover who will be their final opponents.

Reaching the final is a big achievement for a small school with just 600 pupils, but the U14s are a talented group having won Scarborough and District Cup honours at Year 7 and 8 levels.
