A TALENTED school football team could be playing at Manchester United's Old Trafford ground after reaching the final rounds of a national competition.

Pupils at Spinfield County Combined School, Marlow, are just one match away from the dream fixture after winning through the Wycombe District rounds of the English Schools' Football Association Adidas Predator Competition.

Vince MacKenzie, head teacher of the school, said: "They are a very good little side, and with a bit of effort should win.

"Some of them are Manchester United supporters, and are quite excited."

The team go to Hackney to represent Bucks in the regional round in March.
