A GROUP of young kickboxers are looking for sponsorship to help them realise their dreams of competing in the world championships.

About 12 children who train at the Combat Academy in Wombwell will attend the competition in Germany in October as part of a 200-strong team.

Coach Mick Crossland said funding was not available for kickboxers.

He said: "We are hoping that a business will want to support these young kids who are doing great things for Barnsley.

"We are looking for support for one event - the world championships."
