Winners galore: a retro gallery of champions from St Benet's

It's a school which has produced an impressive array of champions over the years.

We've got lots of archive Sunderland Echo photos to show the winning netball, football, maths and fundraising teams at St Benet's RC School in the past.

The school is back in the news after more of its students won trophies, as reported in the Echo.

But let's not forget the heroes which have gone before. Have a look at these great scenes.

What a winning line-up but we want your memories of these St Benet's photos.
