TEAMS from Chester-le-Street will be taking on rivals from Tyne and Wear next week as a junior football tournament kicks off an annual summer festival.
Fourteen teams will be competing in the under-nines competition, beginning at 9.30am on Saturday, August 28. It marks the start of a two-day community festival at the Elgin Centre, Carr Hill, Gateshead.
The event, now in its second year, also includes a family fun run, bouncy castle, inflatable slide and a bungee run.
There will be face painting, stalls, raffles and refreshments available.
