TOWN players David Mirfin and Tyrone Thompson were a hit with pupils of Cumberworth CE First School when they joined them for a book week.

The defender and midfielder read poems and books with Year 3, 4 and 5 pupils.

The visit was the highlight of a week of activities culminating in World Book Day on Thursday.

Children have also enjoyed sharing books with team members from Huddersfield Giants, the Mayor of Kirklees Clr Barbara Allonby, school governors and friends of the school.

They have also been taking part in book-related activities including making their own books and bookmarks and a special assembly.
