"I remember being their age and days like this will inspire them and hopefully keep them out of trouble and away from their computers. I was very impressed by the standard, let’s hope that some of them make it into QPR’s Academy in a few years time."
Stuart McBride, Brand Specialist at Chevron, owners of the Texaco brand, said "As an official partner to the npower Championship, the Texaco brand wants to ensure it is giving something back to grassroots football and days like these can only benefit the club and the children involved.
