Netball players spread some festive cheer at a special Christmas tournament - and helped to raise much-needed funds for a charity.
Teams from across the North East took part in the Christmas Cracker netball event, held at Sports Central, Northumbria University, to raise money for The Chronicle Sunshine Fund. The charity helps to transform the lives of young people with disabilities.
During the competition, organised by England Netball North East, players donned Santa hats, reindeer headbands and even wings and halos to get into the festive spirit. Christmas tunes were played across the PA system as the teams played - the two with the most points then faced each other in the final.
