SPORTY youngsters have returned to Darlington from a tournament with a clutch of honours.

Pupils from Hummersknott School and Language College and Beaumont Hill School enjoyed success at the regional youth games in Hartlepool at the weekend.

The children, who all have special educational needs, competed in boccia (bowling) and curling contests.

They joined forces to represent the Darlington borough, winning two gold trophies and one silver. Pupils brought their trophies into school yesterday to celebrate their success.
