Newcastle United legend Steve Harper judged the entries and selected Findlay Turnbull, 8, of Hebburn to represent the boys and Neve Weatherley, 12 from Low Fell to represent the girls!

He said: “I was really impressed Findlay and Neve’s team spirit and the fact that they always try to help others. That’s a really important quality to have.”

The pair will have won unlimited access to Foundation Soccer Schools this summer, the opportunity to be a ball boy and girls at a Newcastle United fixture plus a host of other exclusive prizes.

FINDLAY

Finday was recently nominated for player of the season by parents of his teammates for his passion, leadership and encouragement. He is always the first boy to make sure his team mate is ok if they get injured or perhaps make a mistake. He plays on two teams and even if is his turn to miss a match because of rotation he is there to cheer on his team!

NEVE

Neve will make a great captain because she always encourages players to do their best. She makes sure that the team plays as a team and doesn’t rely on one player. Neve motivates players, even if they are being beaten. She would also make sure everyone is having fun and enjoying football.
