PUPILS from from English Martyrs, Frenchwood and St. Augustine's primary schools in Preston were invited to show off their slam dunking skills this week.

Councillor Veronica Afrin, executive member for Preston City Council leisure services said: "It's part of our initiative to get more schoolchildren involved with games and they've been working really hard to improve their basketball skills. We've got plans for similar competitions in the future so even more schoolchildren will get a taste of the action."
