THREE young artists were guests of honour at Middlesbrough's match with Liverpool on Saturday.

Lauren Watson and David Wilson, from Ravensworth School in Normanby, and James Massey from Whale Hill School, Eston, Teesside, won this year's MFC Community project's anti-smoking competition.

The competition was run by the Healthnet website and the children were asked to create an anti-smoking cartoon character to appear on the site.

Rob Lake, health promoter, said: "We had hundreds of excellent entries and it was very difficult to narrow to down to three winners."
