BIDFORD young firefighters were announced the overall winners of an It's a Knockout competition held at Studley High School this weekend.

The two teams of youngsters aged 11 to 15 beat off competition from several other groups from around the county last Sunday. The event organised by Studley young firefighters was the first time Bidford youngsters had entered such a competition.

Sub Officer Jesse Belmonte from the group was presented with a winning certificate by Warwickshire's Chief Fire Officer William Brown.
