AN international football competition to find stars of the future came to Darlington at the weekend.

Hundreds of Asda customers showed off their skills as they took part in The Fox Kids Cup.

The store has teamed up with Fox Kids and Wagon Wheels to find the country's best ten boys and ten girls in the under-13 age group to compete against youngsters from 20 other countries.

Former Darlington footballer Martin Gray was at the store, in Whinbush Way, to watch as the children were put through their paces in the car park.

Participants had to undergo a series of skills tests and, when all the results are in, the best will go through to regional finals.

The national final will be at Mottram Hall, Cheshire, where the members of Team UK will be announced. The lucky 20 will represent the country in the finals in Spain at Easter
