School kids have been showing their support for Barrow AFC ahead of the team's huge clash against Chelsea.
The Bluebirds will be travelling to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, September 24 in the Third Round of the Carabao Cup with excitement building in the town ever since the draw took place in August.
Pupils from St James' Church of England Junior School visited the St Mary's Hospice Community Hub on Duke Street earlier this month to get creative before the cup tie.
A spokesperson from St Mary's commented: "We were delighted to welcome St James' to our Barrow Dementia Café to celebrate all things Barrow AFC.
"We joined forces to create good luck cards, posters and banners in preparation for their big game against Chelsea.
"We had a fantastic afternoon and we can’t wait to welcome our friends at St James' back soon."
Barrow AFC earned the right to take on the Premier League giants after a nervy victory against Championship side Derby County.
A 3-2 penalty shoot-out in their favour put them into the hat for the next round with head coach Stephen Clemence believing the trip to London was just reward for their efforts.
The children at St James' will likely be glued to their TV screens on Tuesday night hoping for an upset that would reverberate across the footballing community.
A school spokesman said: "Some of the children went to St Mary's Hospice Community Hub to spend time at their Dementia cafe.
"The children had lots of fun chatting and making a good luck banner for Barrow AFC ready for their big game against Chelsea."
The odds will be stacked against Barrow with the Premier League side spending hitting £204m this summer alone to back new boss Enzo Maresca.
They could be up against World Cup and Euros winners when they take to the pitch - as well as England star Cole Palmer - but, with the backing of St James' and the rest of Barrow, they might just believe a shock can be on the cards.
