YOUNGSTERS kicked racism into touch after winning a competition to create anti-racism posters.
Rahila Khatun, aged 10, came in first place and his poster and accompanying slogan will now be entered into a national competition organised by the Show Racism the Red Card and Kick Racism Out football campaigns. The St Mary’s CE Primary School, Kidderminster, pupil is now in with a chance to win further prizes. Khadija Khatun, 10, was chosen as the winner for Wyre Forest and Rudi Guest, aged nine, Wen Jie He, 10, and Rowan Downes, nine, were all runners-up. The five pupils from the Kidderminster school were presented with their prizes at the Harriers’ ground, Aggborough Stadium, where they met players and manager Steve Burr.
