SOCCER-mad Greenmount youngsters are certainly going for goal!

They were the first in the borough to benefit from a new "park soccer" programme operated by Challenger Sports.

This scheme is designed to allow children the chance to take part in a host of traditional games which were played in parks years ago.

Greenmount primary school was the venue for the park soccer activity and the format used ensured the sessions involved a mixture of competition.

Billed as a "soccer camp," the event allowed coaches to set up a number of game "stations" with groups moving around these in rotation.

Youngsters were put through their paces and displayed their soccer talents throughout the activity.
