A DARLINGTON school has won a free football kit for its under-14s team.
Pupils at Eastbourne School were given the prize, worth more than £300, as a reward for reaching the fourth round of the 4 Aces cup, a national tournament organised by the English Schools Football Association. More than a thousand schools nationwide took part in the challenge.
Sarah Armstrong, marketing manager for Imagineire, the organisers of 4 Aces, said: "It is some boys' dream to play professional football and, for many, this tournament gives them a chance to experience a national level competition."
Only five rounds remain in the competition and organisers said Eastbourne School stands a good chance of making it to the final in April.
The team's progress can be monitored at www.the4aces.com
