Hundreds of football teams from across Oxfordshire enjoyed another spectacular Summertown Stars tournament over the weekend in what is the club's 50th year.
More than 410 teams took part on Saturday, June 15, with clubs from across the county and surrounding regions taking part.
A wide variety of age groups faced off in a five-a-side format with finals for each age group, with the 22 pitches sponsored by one of the 17 local businesses or three charities.

Charity pitch sponsorships for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, cancer charity Maggie's and football mental health charity The Vault were paid for by club supporters.
A club spokesperson said: "I can’t highlight enough how much this tournament brings our community together, with many families being involved ever year in the 400+ strong army of volunteers it takes to run this event.
"It’s magic that so many people’s heart and soul goes into running what is one of the biggest football tournaments in England.
"We’re a volunteer-led grassroots community football club, so all the funds go straight back to facilitating football, and player development throughout the club.
"They allow us to keep our subs low (£140 a year), to support our hardship fund, improve our facilities - we’re investing in better goals at the moment to make life easier for the volunteer parent coaches, and run our community café."
The spokesperson said the funds raised would help run the club for all 837 players in 61 teams from adult men's and ladies teams to U6, boys, and girls, including team for players with cerebral palsy.

A spokesperson said: "The main benefit (of the tournament) is in engaging young people in physical activity, the opportunity to get into football, and to develop as people and players.
"We’re lucky to have many really supportive businesses that sponsor teams and help support our cause in Summertown and we try and help promote them too.
"Through all of our activities we bring the community together through football, and remain a truly inclusive club with players from more than 30 local schools."
The weekend was not just about football with 18 parents, coaches and managers coming together to form three teams in the men's category - all in support of the Cystic Fibrosis trust.
A spokesperson said: "Throughout the year, our amazing team and dedicated members of the parents' group, who play every Tuesday night at 9pm, have raised over £1,050 for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and an additional £1000 for our club."
