Two of Greenfield Community College’s Sports teams had success recently as they competed for a place in County Finals.
Four boccia teams travelled to Spennymoor Leisure Centre to take part in the Sedgefield Boccia championships. The teams were entered in the under 15 and under 13 events and were delighted that two of the four teams qualified for the County finals which will take place in July.
In athletics Greenfield students joined nine other schools from South West Durham for the South West Durham Schools Athletics Championships recently. The standards demonstrated by our local athletes was very impressive, with a number of County and National standards achieved during the evening.
