Young sports stars hope to kick their competition out of the way as Harrow police host a youth football tournament.

On August 20 and 21, police in Harrow are holding a youth football tournament at The Byron Recreation Ground in Wealdstone, behind the Harrow Leisure Centre.

The tournament has been created to give young sports stars the chance to participate in a day of activities while getting to meet police officers and find out more about their jobs.

The under-15s tournament will take place on Thursday, August 20 between 11am and 3pm while the under-18s tournament for boys will take place on the Friday, also between 11am and 3pm.

Representatives from Barnet Football Club and Watford Football Club will be present on both days, and winning teams will be presented with trophies by a member of the Harrow Senior Leadership Team.
