On Wednesday night, the Boys' team took on the best in Derwentside. Following group wins against Burnhope, All Saints and Lanchester, the team took on Annfield Plain in their toughest game yet in the semi-finals.

The Olympics is drawing ever closer; here is a film created by Michael Morpurgo, the famous children's author. I was surprised to see his name on the credits, but surely it's a sign of quality. What do you think? Are you impressed by the video or should he stick to writing children's novels? I wish I could capture a rainbow like that on my phone! |
