NO strangers to success, cricketers at Corbridge and Hexham’s St Joseph’s middle schools will represent Tynedale at the county finals.

The girls’ team at Corbridge, who missed out on a national final at the death earlier this year, were crowned district champions of the West Northumberland Chance to Compete U13 Softball competition, while the St Joseph’s team triumphed in the boys’ tournament as 197 children from six schools took part at Stocksfield Cricket Club.

St Joseph’s defeated Ovingham in the final and Corbridge overcame St Joseph’s in the girls’ final as both go forward to contest the county finals on June 14.
