Top coaches from Blackburn Rovers will be helping young Island footballers hone their skills next week.

The Championship side - alongside Douglas Royals Football Club - will be hosting a soccer camp at Ballafletcher Sports Centre from Monday, July 22 to Friday, July 26.

It'll be the fourth time the club has visited the Isle of Man in the last year and is inviting boys and girls aged 7 to 15 to take part in an event also looking to promote healthy living and activity for Manx children.

The sessions will run between 9am and 3pm each day - anyone interested in taking part is being invited to apply by visiting the Blackburn Rovers Community Trust website.
