CHILDREN who take advantage of a half-term football course could find themselves playing at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium.

Youngsters who sign up for training courses organised by Middlesbrough Football in the Community next week will take part in a keep-up competition.

The winners of each session will get to show off their skills as part of the half-time entertainment at Boro's home match against Liverpool on Saturday, November 9.

Boro manager Steve McClaren said: "These course are a fantastic introduction to football. Youngsters can be sure of the very best advice and coaching in a fun environment."
