Deepdale will host the Dick Clegg Preston Schools' Cup Finals, with 10 finals taking place during the course of the day.

Over the last few months, schools throughout Preston have been competing to try and battle their way through to the finals.

The finals are named in honour of Dick Clegg who was chairman of the Preston Schools' FA and the organiser of this event for many years

A spokesman for Preston Schools FA said: "It is fitting that the occasion is held at Deepdale, home of Preston North End.

"A child’s memory of playing on the hallowed turf will be one they will pass on to their grandchildren.

"So, a massive thank-you goes out to Peter Ridsdale, Ben Rhodes, Andy Haythornthwaite, Mark Farnworth and all the staff at PNE that have made it possible."
