THE New Year has kicked off to a sporting start at Westville House School in Ilkley.
Snow and chilly conditions did not dampen the enthusiasm of the pupils who took part in the annual cross country Catterall Shield event at Giggleswick School.
Despite the challenging course, Isabella Moran and Isabel Woodward took first and second place in the U11 Girls Category, with the Westville House U11 Girls team gaining an overall second place.
Not to be outdone, for the U11 Boys, Archie Alton and Sam Williams, were placed fourth and sixth respectively, with the U11 Boys team finishing in third place overall.
Netball and rugby were the order of the day for the younger pupils who competed in a series of matches against Belmont Grosvenor School. A mixed U8 and U9 girls netball team secured a victory winning eight points to one, the boys U9 rugby team won five points to three.
Head teacher Rosey James said: “We’ve achieved some fantastic results and are looking forward to this continuing.”
