Young Bluebirds fans are being encouraged to get creative for a new Barrow AFC competition.

Fans of the club who may be yearning for their football fix can now design their own dream Barrow shirt, and can win prizes in the process.

As first prize, the club is offering the chance to be a mascot at Barrow next home game - once the team is back playing at Holker Street.

Second place will win their very own Barrow home shirt, with third winning a family ticket.

A statement on the club's website reads:

"We can’t bring you any football right now, so we’re calling for all Young Bluebirds to get creative!

"We’re challenging you to design your perfect Barrow AFC shirt (home or away) with the chance to win some fantastic prizes!

"The first prize will see you walk out with the first team players as our mascot as soon as we are back playing, the second prize is a Barrow AFC home shirt and the third prize is a family ticket to watch the Bluebirds in action.

"All you have to do is download and print our design template and get creating!

"When complete, a photo of your design should be sent to r.sutherland@barrowafc.com "

The closing date for the competition is Tuesday April 7, and entrants must be 16 or younger.
