CHILDREN from a Richmond school are hoping that a new athletics strip will give them the edge in competitions.

The town's Castle Walk Sports has donated red kit to pupils from Richmond Primary School, above, who now look the part with lettering on the front and back of their eye-catching tops.

"We have never had an official kit before," said a spokeswoman for the school.

"The children look great with it on and we are really grateful for the support from a local business."
