75+ year 5/6 children from 7 local primary schools attended the Huntingdon leg of the Hunts School Sports Partnership’s Bee Netball competition.

The tournament which acts as a pathway to the Cambridgeshire County Netball Association county finals, was hosted at Hinchingbrooke School on Tuesday 2nd May.
