THE Evening Press has teamed up with York City's Football in the Community programme to offer 20 youngsters the chance of competing in a skills challenge day.

The challenge is looking for the best three footballing youngsters who will go through to a regional final with the chance of greater national glory in October.

The skills challenge is only open to boys and girls aged between eight and 12 years - you must be in years four, five six or seven - and will test shooting accuracy and power, dribbling and passing.

Everyone who attends the challenge will receive a prize, including a free adidas T-shirt.

The event will run at Askham Bryan College on Monday, June 10.

To win one of the 20 places up for grabs just answer the following two questions.

For which national team did Zinedine Zidane score two goals in the 1998 World Cup final?

Who scored the goal against Greece to book a place in this year's World Cup finals for England?

Answers, including name, address, home telephone number, date of birth and school year you are in, should be sent to Paul Olsson, Football in the Community, Bootham Crescent, York YO30 7AQ.

The closing date for entries is May 24.

City's FITC programme is running a half-term fun week at Askham Bryan College for youngsters.

Priced £20, the course runs from Wednesday, June 5 to Friday, June 7, from 10am to 3pm each day.
