Well done to our athletes at Duke’s Secondary who competed in the Northumberland County XC Championships.

Spirits were high at Temple Park yesterday on 21st January. Six Duke’s students (Y7-Y10) made their school proud by representing the East Northumberland district at the Northumberland County Cross-Country Championships in South Shields.

Each of our athletes put in 110% and made us proud with their hard work, dedication and training for this event. All of our students ran admirably over a testing course in the minor boys, minor girls and Inter boys races. We’re ecstatic with their results and can’t wait to see what they’ll achieve next!

A special mention to Louie Fish who finished 9th in the minor boys race and has qualified to represent Northumberland at the Inter County Championships in Middlesbrough on 8th February.

Netball Victory for Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 teams!

Duke’s Secondary Netball Teams have really out-done themselves, absolutely smashing their game today on 22nd January. With year 7 and 8 winning all three matches, the scores came in at 2-1 for the first game, 1-Nil for the second and 2-Nil for their final game.
