Two Ruddington girls, Esme Elizabeth Winwood and Summa Betts are part of the Handball Team at Rushcliffe School.
The team have practiced during their lunchtimes and their dedication and commitment paid off when they recently made history by becoming the first school from the East Midlands to win the national Handball finals.
Despite only starting to play the game in October last year the team beat off competition from the 1200 schools that entered the competition to win the tournament without ever losing a game. Huge congratulations are extended to the whole team.
