The week in sport

Yorkshire Silver for Nattida

Last weekend, Nattida competed in the Yorkshire Athletics Championships at a very sunny Dorothy Hyman Stadium in Cudworth. She was delighted to come away with a silver medal in the Under 13 Girls' long jump event, missing out on gold by just 7cm.

Although a recent knee problem meant she wasn’t quite at her early-season form, Nattida still holds the longest Under 13 Girls' jump in Yorkshire this season with a superb 4.48m.

Congratulations, Nattida!

Report:
A great afternoon of tennis for the U15As. After some tight singles matches, with one going to a tie-break after 12 long games of tennis, QM were in the lead. Going into the doubles, the girls didn't let the heat get to them and worked really well together to secure their wins. Some fantastic rallies were on show and the QM team had to work hard for their victory, which they did with style. Well done team.
