Pupils from Littleborough Primary School will represent Rochdale AFC at the regional stages of the Football League’s Kinder Sport+Kids Cup.
The youngsters have earned the right to compete at Crewe Alexandra on March 12th after seeing off competition from 41 other schools in the preliminary rounds, which were held at the Soccer Factory over a two week period.
The Kids Cup is a national competition run by the Football League Trust. It gives schools the chance to proceed via the regional finals to the National Final, which takes place before the League One play-off final in May at Wembley.
