A FILM about a team of young reporters as they covered the Olympic Games has been screened.

The group from Hall Garth and King's Manor schools, in Middlesbrough, were given the opportunity to cover the Athens games during the summer.

Friends and family gathered in the UGC Cinema for a screening of the Olympic Press Corps' time in the Greek capital.

The film celebrates schemes run by Middlesbrough Football Club's Playing For Success study centre, which uses sport to improve literacy, numeracy and computing skills.

The trip was organised by Playing For Success and the Government initiative Creative Partnerships.

Eight young people filmed the games and interviewed sporting stars, including Middlesbrough long jumper Chris Tomlinson.

The audience also watched how the youngsters trained for their trip during a summer journalism school.
