A BOYS hockey team from the North-East has reached the quarter final of a national competition.
The 11-14s boys hockey team from Red House School in Norton, Teesside, will play in the quarter-final of the Hockey Association Youth Cup at Warwick University later this month.
To reach the quarter final, the boys had to play a team from Egglescliffe School, Eaglescliffe, which they beat 1-0.
They then went on to play Scarborough College in the regional finals and won 4-1.
Chris Allen, headteacher at the school, said: "To reach the last eight in the country is a significant achievement.
"The boys and I are looking forward to the serious challenges that lie ahead."
