Welcome to the website of Chester-le-Street
primary schools football and athletics' associations. Schools' football in the
Chester-le-Street has been in existence since 1950 and athletics was first
introduced in the early 1960's. Cross country running was also introduced into
the year's sporting activities in 1978 and has gone from strength to strength.
Indoor athletics is the most recent discipline to be introduced and Pelton
Community, with help from the most talented athletes in the area, have dominated
both the Durham County and North of England championships.
This website gives you information on a range of activities at present as well
as recording the achievements of schools throughout the years. Primary
schools in the Chester-le-Street and surrounding area have, over the years,
introduced children to these sporting activities and many have gone on to make a
name for themselves in their chosen sport but many also look back with pride to
the time when they represented their school in their chosen sport.
 Photographs
show the boys climbing the notorious Newker hill at the cross country meeting,
2009, Cestria proudly showing off their trophies after a
highly successful year in the district athletics in 1991 and Birtley
Elizabethville football team winning their first trophy in 1951. The indoor
athletics' photograph (right) shows our Chester-le-Street team winning the North of
England championships in 2008.
These memories,
together with those of thousands of children who have been a part of the history
of the these associations, will never be forgotten
