JOSEPH Rowntree School's netballers will get the chance to go for national glory this weekend.
The school's Under-14s, U15s and U19s teams will compete in the national netball finals at Redbridge Sports Centre in Ilford, Essex, which were originally scheduled for early March but were postponed at late notice because of snow.
JoRo, coached by PE teacher Trish Farrow, are representing the region after winning the area and regional finals, and at each age level will come up against 17 other regional champions.
"The girls have been training hard over the last five weeks and are looking forward to it," said Cris Howes, who will be one of the team's scorers.
The 18 teams at each age level will be split into two groups of nine and play eight games apiece. The top two in each group will meet in the semi-finals.
