Both schools will now go on to represent Lancaster and Heysham at the SPAR Lancashire School Games county finals where they will compete against teams from 13 other Lancashire districts to be named county champions in mini tennis.

Over 2,400 youngsters are expected to take part in the SPAR Lancashire School Games county finals event at Stanley Park in Blackpool on July 5, a result of the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games, which inspired thousands of children to participate in competitive sport.

Organised by Lancashire Sport Partnership, the event is implemented by the county’s school games organisers and sponsored by James Hall & Company Ltd, the SPAR distributors for the North of England.
