KIDDERMINSTER’S Emily Seymour-Perry has claimed a gold medal in the netball competition at the School Games National Finals.
The 15-year-old Royal Grammar School Worcester pupil was part of the Severn Stars and performed well, finishing in first place.
The team faced Mavericks in the final match, and after a close first half, Severn Stars took the lead with a score of 15-12.
However, the team soon celebrated as they were announced as winners of the gold with a final score of 32-20.
Emily said: “I think we’ve worked really well together as a team, we’ve come together in this tournament and we’ve just got better and better right up until the final game.”
The School Games has provided a springboard for some of the most talented school-age athletes, with over 200 graduates of the finals competing at this year’s Commonwealth Games, winning 85 medals.
