THREE Yarm School pupils withstood their opponents' pressure to snatch victory in a maths championship.
The school's senior maths team went to Durham Johnstone School for the final of this year's North-East Mathematics Championship.
They faced Durham school St Leonard's, the only team to have beaten them in the qualifying rounds.
The Teesside team took an early lead, but by the second round they were trailing by two points. St Leonard's maintained their lead and, as the final round approached, they looked likely to win.
But the Yarm team members - Paul Peeling, 18, HanBin Yoon, 18, and In Kwon Choi, 16 - put in outstanding individual performances to win by 25 points to 18.
