YOUNGSTERS from four Blackburn schools will go head-to-head during an It's A Knockout style competition.

The fund-raiser was dreamed up by Joanne Eccles, a child-parent representative at Our Lady of Perpetual Succour School, Highercroft.

Pupils will be up against visiting teams from Longshaw School, St James School and Roman Road School. The police, ambulance service and Roman Road Community and Employment Centre are also taking part.

Fr Brian Kealey of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Church, said: "Many different groups will come together in friendly and hopefully silly rivalry, and a good time will be had by all."

The fun will take place at Our Lady's in Holmbrook Close between 2pm and 4pm on Saturday, June 16.
