One of the biggest school football festivals in the country kicked off in Keighley with more than 900 youngsters taking part.

Up to 126 teams from around the district participated in the five-a-side football festival, which was held at Keighley's Marley Activities and Coaching Centre from Monday.

The three-day event, organised by Bradford Council, was held each night between 4pm and 7pm.

Boys and girls aged between eight and 14 took to the field to do battle in the 16th annual competition.

Councillor Andrew Thornton, executive member for sport and leisure, said: “Primary and secondary school pupils from all over the district will be joining in this five-a-side festival and I hope friends and relatives will go along and give them some support.

“It is important that young people are provided with enjoyable opportunities to take part in physical activity and sport, which is the message we are championing through our b-active campaign – be active, be healthy and have fun – it's as simple as that.”

The event is being sponsored by Leeds City College Keighley Campus.
