Chesterfield schools among winners at Derbyshire School Games
Teams from Brockwell Junior School, St Mary’s Catholic High School, Hasland Hall Community School, Brampton Primary School and Holly House School were among the winners at the Derbyshire School Games event at Mount St Mary’s College, attended by 1,000 young people.
The multi-sport event saw around 800 school children from Derbyshire’s nine school sport partnerships compete in 12 events across eight different sports – cycling, cricket, tennis, QuadKids athletics, golf, rounders, Boccia and football.
A further 200 young leaders volunteered as event officials, marshals and media leaders to ensure the smooth running of the event.
Each of the teams taking part had already excelled to get through to this stage, having qualified by winning their district competition, and on the day they were cheered on by sporting stars and special guests Gail Emms and Sophie Bradley-Auckland.
