A YOUNG football team are heartbroken after finding they cannot use the venue they thought they had booked for the end of season presentation.

Burnley Briercliffe Rovers were due to enjoy the event tomorrow and manager Chris Farnworth said the team were all bitterly disappointed.

Rovers, a community team for youngsters in the Briercliffe area, had put considerable effort and expense into organising their presentation evening, including booking a DJ, sending out invitations and asking a Burnley player to appear as guest of honour, but they are now stuck with nowhere to go.

Manager of the under-11s team Chris Farnworth said: "We would not have gone to so much trouble to arrange the evening if we did not think the booking was a definite arrangement with the club but we have now been left witha lot of disappointed youngsters.

"Everyone is hoping we can find somewhere, but that's pretty unlikely."
