OLDBURY Park Tigers have linked up with Dines Green Primary School to boost the standard of football among youngsters in the area.

The school have just finished a six-week course to develop skills and Oldbury Park coach Jon Wilson says it has been a big success.

"What we have been teaching them is basic skills like dribbling, shooting, passing and team-play," he said.

The course finished with a link day and Matt Jones, from Worcestershire FA, was in attendance to hand out certificates.

Tigers have a range of age groups playing in the Mercian Festival Junior League.
