A GIRLS hockey team has returned triumphant from a inter-school tournament.

The Wensleydale School under-14 team won the Hambleton and Richmondshire area hockey rally held in Easingwold last month.

Eight teams competed in the tournament.

The Wensleydale team beat local rivals Richmond School by one point.

Lee Wasden, head of PE, said the victory was particularly sweet for fellow PE teacher Gemma Ingleby, who is a former Richmond School pupil.

The tournament was the first trophy to be won by the team.
