A SCHOOL rugby team has kicked off the season by winning a North-East league title.
The under-16 rugby team at Hummersknott Academy, in Darlington, were victorious in the Cleveland League after winning all but one of their matches.
The league features teams from Darlington, Cleveland, Hartlepool and Bishop Auckland.
A school spokeswoman said: “The team, many of whom have been playing together for several years now, play extremely well together and even won a match when down to 14 players due to injury.”
As the rugby kit is several years old, the school is appealing to any local businesses who may be able to help with sponsorship who, in return, will have their logo featured on the strip.
Anyone who can help can call Nigel Foster on 01325-241191.
