A TWELVE-year-old Blackburn Rovers fan will watch his heroes take on their rivals after winning a prize draw.
James Galbraith won two tickets to Sunday’s game against Burnley at Ewood Park from Blackburn Youth Zone.
The tickets were donated by the Lancashire Telegraph.
James won the tickets at the Youth Zone’s junior club on Monday night in a prize draw.
Events manager Laura Jones said: “We had about 180 children here and put all their names in a hat and drew one out. It is great that James will get to see the East Lancashire derby.
“He is a big Rovers fan and he is really excited and looking forward to the game.
“I would also like to thank the Lancashire Telegraph for donating the tickets.”
Blackburn Youth Zone’s junior club runs on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3.30pm to 9pm, Fridays from 3pm to 9pm and Saturdays from 10am to 2.30pm and is open to children aged eight to 12.
Entry costs 50p per child.
