SCORES of schoolgirls are taking up the beautiful game to keep fit and extend their knowledge. Girls under ten from 50 schools across Teesside are taking part in the Three Lions Girls World Cup Festival. Festival organiser Paul Kreczak said each team would adopt one of the nations taking part in this summer's World Cup. He said: "The youngsters will learn about the geography, culture and traditions of the country they have adopted. Each school will play in their country's colours and will make and display that country's flag.''
The festival matches will be played at venues across Teesside on Wednesday and Thursday and March 30 and 31. There will be a replica World Cup for the winners.
