CREWE schoolboy Gavin Port has scooped second prize in a national competition held during British Sausage Week.

Gavin, aged nine, a pupil at Weston Primary School, was among 30,000 youngsters who entered the wordsearch competition for seven to 11-year-olds.

As well as completing the wordsearch, Gavin also had to say why he liked sausages.

His entry said: “I think sausages are magic because they are full of protein, they give you big muscles, they are healthy and good for you - mouth-watering sausages.”

Head of Cheshire East’s school meals service, Sharon Alldread, presented Gavin with his certificate, his Sausage Week medal and a £50 prize.

He also won a £100 microscope for his school.

Councillor Paul Findlow said: “We are all very proud of Gavin and indeed all of the children who took part. It’s great that one of our children took second prize.

“We take nutrition very seriously and all of our meats, including sausages, which are among the many foods served daily to our schoolchildren, meet the national quality standard.”
