Banbury's newest football league wants you

Right Lines Youth Super League in Banbury hopes to tackle county line drug dealing NNL-180111-160343001

The league has been put together by Anser Hussain and Nic Weir as a direct response to the growing problem of county lines drug gangs recruiting Banbury youngsters to sell their illegal products on the street.

Nic and Anser met only recently but both have a shared determination to disrupt the county lines drug dealers at street level and provide an avenue for under 14-year-olds to focus upon.

Nic Weir and Anser Hussain are setting up the Youth Super League to combat county line drug dealers NNL-181109-231027001

Ten teams of nine squad members will compete in a league via six evening round robin mini-tournaments of six-a-side, 12-minute games throughout the year at venues across Banburyshire.

Support for the concept has been positive with registered charity Human Relief Foundation financially backing the league.
