A Cumbrian football team that endured a 90-game losing streak has finally notched up a victory.

Since losing their first game 19-0, Harraby Athletic failed to secure a single win for three years - until now.

The under-14s, who have always finished bottom of the Longhorn Youth Football League, beat Edenvale Hawks 3-2 at Harraby's Hammonds Park.

Coach Brett Preston praised the team's persistence adding: "The looks on the kids' faces were priceless."

Harraby trailed 0-1 early in the game, but fought back to secure three points for the first time.

The team were awarded one point in the league last year, but only because the opposing team did not turn up.

Mr Preston said that defeat could sometimes help the team bond.

"When they go back to school after a 12, 13, 14 goal defeat, they do tend to stick together.

"They will barricade themselves in against a barrage of abuse."

However, since the win on 5 September he had received phone calls from other managers congratulating them on their first-ever victory.
