THREE teenagers will be flying the flag for Britain when they play in an American Football tournament next week.
Jim Welch, Toby Taylor and David Hall, all from Darlington, are members of the American flag football team, from the Eastbourne Sports Complex. They have been chosen for the British team competing in the European Championships in Vienna next week.
American flag football is similar to the real game, but is a non-contact sport.
Instead of tackling, players have to try to capture a flag which is attached to their opponent's waistband.
For further information about the sport, contact John Tait at Eastbourne Sports Complex, on (01325) 243177.
