DERWENT Primary School were presented with a full school sports kit this week by the Knights' development chiefs Jason Ramshaw and Ian Wilson.

Derwent were awarded with the strip for having had the biggest percentage of pupils - a whopping 24 per cent of the school register - attending the recent Schools Family Fun Day at Huntington Stadium, which was held on the day of the Hunslet game last month.

New Earswick Primary School and St Lawrence's just missed out with 20 and 17 per cent, respectively. Derwent wore their new strip for the first time just a few days later in the heats for the all-girls tag rugby league festival organised by the Knights' development office.

Those heats were played on Wednesday and Thursday and a report will be carried in the School Sport section of Wednesday's Evening Press. It is planned that the finals of this competition will be played as a curtain-raiser to the Knights v Keighley game a week tomorrow.
