Our school football team had their first matches of the season at Staindrop School on Thursday. They played Ingleton in their first match. It was a challenging match, as Ingleton have a very strong team. Despite losing 5- 0, our team remained focussed and learnt a valuable lesson about the importance of marking the opposition.

The second match against Startforth was really exciting and we won 3 – 1.

Our final match against Bowes ended in a draw 1 – 1.

It was a well attended event and our older pupils helped to serve drinks and welcome our visitors to school.
