YOUNGSTERS got their just rewards from Tory leader William Hague at a sporting presentation ceremony.
The Richmond MP presented certificates to members of Colburn Youth Club in recognition of their sporting excellence.
The nine teenagers, aged 14 to 17, received their awards for their work on sports courses as part of a youth club organised by the young people themselves.
Colburn Youth Club was set up three years ago to give young people somewhere to go in the area and last autumn a youth council was formed, to represent their views at town council and parish forum meetings.
Richmond community safety officer PC Steve Norman, who helped to set up the youth council, said: "We are thrilled to be able to support this excellent work. The young people of Colburn should be proud of their achievements."
