Norfolk Schools Championships

We hope to start two new competitions for Norfolk schools to enter.   One for primary schools (Year 6 and below) and one for high schools (Year 7 to Year 13).    Schools will play against schools local to them, probably in groups of 3 or 4.   Schools can agree to play at a time mutually convenient to each other.   A minimum of 4 players will be needed to make up a school team.  It is suggested matches to last up to a hour for high schools and up to 30 minutes for primary schools.   More details will be provided once we gather how much interest there is.   To express an interest in your school taking part please fill in the form below.
