A group of children from a primary school watched the European Championships - and cheered on for local girl Georgia Stanway. 

Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School in Barrow won the free tickets in a competition along with a few other primary schools from across the UK. 

They travelled to Old Trafford to see England play Austria in the group stages. England won 1-0 after a goal from Beth Mead. 

The kids were particularly excited to see midfielder Georgia Stanway, who was born in Barrow and lived in the area until she was 16, play.

Jeni Marshall, one of the teachers who helped organise the trip, said: "The kids were amazing and it was a fantastic experience. There were so many people in the stadium but it was a positive atmosphere.

"I don't think I will ever get the opportunity to do that again. Especially to see girls get to that level - they are such positive role models." 

The children who went were on the sports council or put in an exceptional contribution to sport over the last year. The rest were chosen out of a hat.
