QUEEN Margaret's School, Escrick, won the under-13s girls section of the recent Woodleigh athletics tournament for independent schools - and topped it off with victory in the tug of war.

The mixed event featured eight all boys teams and one mixed team from Pocklington but it was the all-girls Queen Margaret's outfit that beat off the opposition, passing Pocklington in the semi-final and the all-boys Howsham in the final to win.
