Emma Cassell came 1st in the town and 2nd in the Teesside competition; this was a great achievement as she had to compete against athletes 1 year above her.

Manor College staff and pupils would like to wish them all the very best in representing the County on Saturday 5th February 2011.

Netball

County Netball Representatives

Manor has a great reputation in producing brilliant netball players. This is down to the dedication and hard work put in by the players and the fantastic Oaksway Netball Club who we work in partnership with. Seven girls, all at under 14 level have been chosen to train with the county squad over the next year.

Harriot Hampshire is a regular at Oaksway club and has been for many years so I am not surprised she was one of the girls selected. Chloe Hunter is another regular and I can see the improvement in her game already.

The rest of the girls are working hard and I am hoping they are selected for the end of season tournament. Good luck girls.

Rugby

Manor College Rugby 2010/11

Since September 2010 Manor has made great strides in Rugby Union. Manor are currently in the Quarter Final of the Durham County Plate at Under 15 and U16 level.

The U15’s take on High Tunstall on Friday 11th March, Kick Off 3.45pm.

Manor have just short of 100 students who participate in extra curricular Rugby throughout the week and this ranges from U12 to U16’s, this also include girls who are training hard.

Manor’s current U15 team made history in September 2010 by becoming the first team in the school’s history to compete in the Daily Mail Cup where they were unlucky against an experienced MacMillan Academy team.

A short video showcasing Manor College Rugby 2010/11.

All our teams are going from strength to strength and this down to the commitment and effort put in by the student after school.

The year 7 team are showing great promise and have a fixture against English Martyrs at Manor on the 16th March after school. The year 7’s have by far the biggest squad out of all the teams in the college and their enthusiasm has been excellent all year.

Manor hope this continues and no doubt over the next few years we can bring some Silverware back to Manor which is a long time overdue.
