PUPILS at Kirkbymoorside Primary School reached the finals of a inter-school netball competition.

The Year 6 team reached the finals of the contest by winning the Ryedale and Whitby High-5 Netball Tournament.

Teacher Anna Clay said: “Kirkbymoorside School’s Year 6 team achieved the fantastic result of winning the Ryedale and Whitby High-5 Netball Tournament.

“The tournament was held at Lady Lumley’s School in Pickering and the team did not lose a match.”

The team went on to the North Yorkshire School Games at Queen Margaret’s in Escrick to represent Ryedale and Whitby.

Mrs Clay said the team had been delighted to reach the finals.

“They won one game and lost eight but had a great time. The standard from other schools was unbelievable,” she added.
