Fours squads of St. Bede’s basketballers enjoyed the prestigious Hoops4Health Tournament at the home the Newcastle Eagles. In preparation, all of the children trained enthusiastically over the winter months. The children’s performances today really showed that hard work pays off; as all four of our teams reached the afternoon Play-Offs! Amazingly, one of our teams then went on to qualify for the District Grand Finals that take place next Friday (before & during the Eagles match against the London Lions).

Thank you to all of the children for your dedicated efforts in the build up to the event and the wonderful teamship on display, which carried us a long way on a wonderful day. I was extremely proud of you all!
