After winning the local completion, Alderley Edge school for girls (pictured) represented Macclesfield Town at the regional finals in Coventry.
Vicky Jepson the Trust's female football development officer took the team down to Coventry after having a good luck message from non other than Man United legend Andy Cole.
The ex England striker was dropping his child off at school when he took the opportunity to wish the girls luck.
After beating local rivals Crewe and Port Vale along the way the girls made it through to the semi finals which they ultimately lost to Leicester City in a closely fought match.
The Trust would like to congratulate Alderley on performing so well, the girls were a credit to themselves and their school.
