A GROUP of students from Withins School watched Bolton Wanderers beat Manchester City from the comfort of a hospitality box, thanks to Fieldings Porter solicitors.

The treat was a reward for the youngsters’ hard work and academic excellence and was part of a drive by the Silverwell Street law firm to recognise young people who have made significant personal achievements or contributed to the community.

Sara Rushton, assistant head teacher, said: “They are all outstanding, all-round students who have worked hard.”

Peter Hayes, associate at Fieldings Porter, said: “We were delighted to reward the students.”
