The three youngsters are already well on the way to becoming football managers.

Thomas Bailey, 17, Debbie Smith, 17 and 16-year-old Thomas Woodward, all members of Oakworth Juniors FC, have completed the FA Junior Team Manager's course. This covers such aspects as child protection and first aid as well as basic football coaching.

Now all three are putting their skills to use by coaching at the club's soccer camps for five and six-year-olds on Saturday mornings. Up to 40 youngsters have been attending the sessions.

For information about the Oakworth soccer camps, or about the club itself, ring secretary Richard Hewitt (01535 645959).
