Fourteen schools took to the pitches at Maidenhead Rugby Club on Thursday.
The seven to nine-year-olds from years three and four were competing for the right to represent Ascot and Maidenhead in the Berkshire Schools Games Finals being held in Bradfield College, Bradfield, on Wednesday, April 2.
About 175 children took part in the afternoon of football at Braywick Road.
