The season is in full swing and last Thursday it was the turn of Year 8 pupils from Wyre and Fylde schools to compete for glory at Blackpool Sports Centre at Stanley Park.

Besides the prestige, the winners would also go on to represent the boroughs at the county finals and All Stars was delighted to be invited along for an afternoon of keenly-contested sport.
