SCHOOLCHILDREN were drilled in healthy eating and the importance of sport by Oxford United players today.

About 150 pupils at Five Acres Primary School, in Ambrosden, near Bicester, learned football skills and took part in a penalty shoot-out.

United players Jack Midson and Damian Batt also answered questions and signed autographs for the children.

The session was part of National Sport Week, which aims to encourage children to be active and enjoy sport.
