PRIMARY school pupils will get the chance to try their hand as radio sports presenters tonight when they tackle Middlesbrough's star midfielder Bolo Zenden.
The youngsters from Breckon Hill and St Augustine's schools are part of a gifted and talented programme organised by Excellence in Cities and will have first use of the football club's new radio facility - Riverside Radio.
The dozen year five students will interview guests in the studio including Zenden as well as carrying out a telephone interview with ex-Boro star Brian Laws, who is manager of Scunthorpe United.
Martin Hedgley, study support centre manager at the Riverside, said: "The pupils are the first to use the studio and judging by their excitement and enthusiasm, even at this early stage, we can see the enormous benefits children will gain from this unique experience."
