YOUNG footballers are celebrating after successful bids for sporting equipment.

Four football clubs in Derwentside have won kit and balls from the Barclaycard Freekicks programme.

The scheme offers junior sections of FA affiliated clubs, free strips and everything else needed to play a game of football.

Consett Juniors, Beamish and East Stanley, Blackfyne, and South Moor clubs all applied for the kit bags through Derwentside District Council's Sports Development team.
