A YOUNGSTER who denies racially aggravated harassment will be tried in December.
The 14-year-old, who cannot be named due to his age, is accused of verbally abusing a football coach in an incident which took place in Barnsley on August 10 of last year.
Having pleaded not guilty to the charge in January, the teenager was expected to stand trial at Barnsley Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
However, magistrates opted to adjourn due to a lack of court time and set a new date of December 4.
