A MIDDLESBROUGH school team's impressive performance in a national football tournament won the pupils £300 worth of Umbro kit.
Acklam Grange School under-14s team reached the fourth round of the 4 Aces Cup, a national under-14s tournament organised by the English Schools Football Association.
This year's sponsor 4 Aces -the title of a new picture book for boys -is supporting the tournament to encourage reading through sport.
The Middlesbrough school beat off competition from more than 1,000 teams to make it to the last 64. The boys hope to reach the final, which will be in April at a leading football stadium.
