YOU'RE the best - that's the message from a rising Rugby League star. St Cuthberts pupil Mark Costello was selected for the Great Britain Schools team that played in France earlier this month, but needed sponsorship to make the trip. And sure enough the support flooded in. Said Mark: I'd like to thank everyone who helped me including:

"St Cuthberts, Wigan Warriors, St Helens Schools REL, Blackbrook Royals, Clock Face ARLFC and uncle John, John Flood and workmates, Donna and Dr Whittakers Surgery at Fingerpost, family and friends, all at the Vulcan Inn and especially my mum and dad."
