ST AUGUSTINE'S High School U16 netball team have won a place in the Daily Telegraph National Schools Netball Championship Final.

The final will be played at the Acklam Leisure Centre and St David's School, Middlesborough, on Saturday, March 24.

St Augustine's qualified as runners-up in the West Midlands Regional Final at the end of January, when they competed against 15 other schools.

St Augustine's have never won the championship, and will be eager to take the trophy.

However, it is a major achievement to come this far as the competition started with nearly 1,200 schools at 57 county tournaments.
