Callum Mackinlay and Jake
Ward are class mates at
Barley Fields Junior School Ingelby Barwick Stockton-on-Tees Both aged nine and mad on sport and both play football for 'TIBS' the local Soccer Academy. Callum has been brought up with the Coldstream Guards and a great supporter of the 'Tommy Leech appeal. Their enthusiasm was evident during the run and also in the actual fund raising. The final figures has not been declared but we are sure it will be a substantial sum. This is just a start and they are determined to progress the cause in the future. A wonderful effort from two brilliant young men. Second to None! |
