FOOTBALL crazy youngsters have been up all night playing their favourite sport to raise money for charity.
The 15 and 16-year-olds have been congratulated for their marathon money raising.
The pupils, who attend St Peter's School, South Bank, near Middlesbrough, came up with the idea of a 12-hour five-a-side tournament, ending at breakfast today, to raise funds for the Asian tsunami appeal.
Jason Ainsley, the pupils' transitional mentor, said: "They got together and organised this themselves and raised £800. For an area like ours, that is quite a sum of money and an achievement."
