HARMONY was the winner when Bury took part in the annual "Kick Racism out of Football" day.

Young players and professionals came together on Saturday at Bury FC's home fixture with Boston United to show their solidarity.

Primary schoolchildren competed for the "Kick it Out" shield, which is run by Bury FC Football in the Community. They also did a lap of honour and parade, and joined the league teams as mascots.

And the Shakers were winners too, triumphing over Boston by two goals to one.

Robin Philp, football inclusion development officer for Bury Council, said: "We have continually strived to make this annual event leave an everlasting message to the residents of Bury and beyond. Racism cannot be tolerated within football or any other walk of life."
