BUDDING sports stars of Ashton-on-Ribble High, Preston have received some energetic support from BNFL.

The company's fuel business group at Springfields, near Preston, donated sport kits to the school's football, hockey and basketball teams.

The up-and-coming champions will proudly don the striking yellow-and-black outfits when they represent the school in various Preston schools competitions as well as in contests at county and national level.

Head of PE Damien Callagher said: "We are proud of our extensive programme of sporting activities and offer many sports opportunities to all our pupils.

"We are extremely grateful to BNFL for providing these kits."
