WHILE the World Cup has been occupying the thoughts of most fans recently, one group of youngsters were giving soccer a cultural overhaul.
Children at St George's RC Primary School, in York, have written, directed and starred in their own footballing opera, called Guaranteed to Score.
The production came about after three members of staff went on a course run by the Royal Opera House, which gave tips to teachers on how to help youngsters put on a show of their own.
The opera, which was performed for two nights, told the story of the differing fortunes of two footballing friends.
