YOUNG footballers in a west African country are cutting a dash on the pitch in Rishton United and Blackburn Rovers shirts.

The youngsters have been helped by a Rishton couple, who regularly travel to Gambia to give aid packages to schools and sports teams.

As part of a recent trip, Allan and Carol Hindle, of Cedar Close, took a package of donated Rishton United and Rovers football strips which have been welcomed with open arms by the players."
