Sports days aren't just for the summer, just ask these students from Stockton Riverside College.

They got the festive season off to a lively start with their own take on the summer classic.

The special Christmas sports day saw around 80 students from the College's Sports and Public Services courses taking part.

Teams went head-to-head in a whole host of sporting challenges at the SRC Sports Centre in Billingham.

"The idea was to have a bit of fun at the end of the year," said BTEC Level 3 Sports student, Scott Bonas.

The 20-year-old from Billingham helped organise the event with fellow Level 3 Sports student, Emily Good.

Emily, 17, from Eaglescliffe said: "We had around 13 teams taking part in lots of different sports."

With students making a small donation to take part and a tuck shop offering sweet treats, funds raised will go towards the students' sports awards celebrations.

Course Leader Tor Black said: "The students worked really hard to organise the event. It was a great way of bringing together the Sports and Public Services students and getting everyone interacting."
