Bronze place went to Harrogate district, Silver place to Craven district and Gold place to Ryedale Schools year 9 team, who were representing the Ryedale and Whitby district. The day was very enjoyable and a big thankyou must be given to the event’s organisers and volunteer staff. The girls were thrilled to have won the tournament, and were also privileged enough to meet Chris Cook, England’s Olympic swimmer. We look forward to seeing where the girls progress throughout their time at Key Stage 4.
