Welland Valley U13s girls' team were shocked this week when they stepped onto the pitch in Ladybridge Park to find they were facing Cinderella, Buttons and the Ugly Sisters.

The panto crew - who will appear at Northampton's Deco Theatre this Christmas - even secured two goals against the girls until a dramatic saw Welland Valley equalise for a 2-2 finish.

The seven-a-side football match will be the main feature of a promotional film ahead of the pantomime this year after the girls won a Deco competition.
