Three children from Harton primary recently represented not only the school but also South Tyneside in a Boccia tournament held at Gateshead Stadium. In the group stages against schools from Newcastle, Sunderland, North Tyneside, Northumberland and Gateshead, the children were fantastic, won every game, and progressed to the knockout stages. In a very tense semi-final, the children beat the highest ranked team in Sunderland and made it to the final. In an incredibly close game, the children were unlucky to lose by less than 1cm to the other South Tyneside entry, East Boldon.
