Congratulations to Lewis de Silva (Y6) who was chosen to be a ball boy at the recent Charity Match between Newcastle and AC Milan at St James’ Park. Steve Harper’s charity match raised £300,000 for north-east charities. A host of former Newcastle and AC Milan stars turned out for the game at St James’ Park last week, which was attended by a crowd of almost 51,000, to mark 38-year-old Harper’s 20 years of service to the Magpies. The proceeds will benefit match organisers the Newcastle United Foundation and two other principal beneficiaries, the Great North Children’s Hospital and the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
