Today 5 squads consisting of 30 children from St. Bede’s enjoyed the South Tyneside Quicksticks tournament at Boldon School. It was great to see so many children take part in their first competitive event for St. Bede’s with so much enthusiasm!

All of the children dribbled and tackled their hearts out on a blustery and wet day. However, the weather didn’t dampen our spirits, as not just one but two of our teams finished top of their respective leagues on the day after playing some amazing hockey!

The Y3/4 children thoroughly deserved a great hockey day after the way they have keenly took part in practises over the winter months. Thank you also to the brilliant parent helpers who encouraged the children throughout the event.
