FOUR Bolton youngsters helped a North West roller hockey team to third place in a top national tournament.

Greg Ruxton, Ryan Johnston, James Usherwood and Chris Keating played for Blackpool-based West Coast Wasps in their successful BIPHA Under-14s national finals in Hartlepool.

Next up for the quartet and their team is a trip to Germany in September to represent their country in the European Championships.

The club is now looking for sponsors to help in their European mission.
