AFTER finding winning ways in borrowed team colours, some of the area's most successful girl footballers are opening the season with their own sponsored strip.

Under-16 and under-14 teams from Sunnydale School in Shildon, County Durham reached the final of the county cup competitions.

The under-14s went on to win in the County Durham Youth Games, held in Durham City, where they represented Sedgefield.

The Asda store at Bishop Auckland answered a plea for support from team coach Malcolm Dover.

Store worker Diane Morris, whose niece, Gemma Churn, plays for the under-14s, visited the school with events co-ordinator John Bowman to present the strips.
