Sedgefield recently sent two teams to the Manchester Winter Festival where we played against many teams of varying abilities from across the country.

Everyone had a lot of pool time and gained valuable match experience. Although we did not come away with any medals this time, everyone had a lot of fun and thoroughly enjoyed the day – particularly some of the younger members who were taking part in their first tournament.

Thanks go to coaches Kate and Steve, who were helped by Ben – and also to the parents for making the trip to Manchester despite the treacherous weather conditions.

Further details can be seen on the clubs website and Facebook page. Anyone who would like to try this fun and exciting sport is invited to attend a free trial at Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre on Saturday afternoons at 4pm. There is no need to book a place, but if possible please contact 07579 030598 or email sedgefieldwp@hotmail.com so we can let the coaches know to expect you.

The club is based between Newton Aycliffe and Spennymoor Leisure Centres with a range of members aged from 8 years to adult. Both boys and girls are welcome.
