DURHAM youngsters are off to Ireland to teach their counterparts how to play cricket.
Twenty-one pupils from Finchale Primary School fly to Ireland today and will spend three days near Dundalk, close to the Northern Ireland border.
They will introduce pupils at St Furzey's National School, Haggardstown, to cricket.
The visit is part of a British Council project to foster closer ties between children in the two countries.
It will be followed by a visit in June to Finchale by St Furzey's pupils, who will teach their hosts gaelic football.
