STUDENTS argued and pitted their wits against each other in a borough-wide debating competition.

Cator Park School, Beckenham, beat six other Bromley schools to become champions of the Borough Debating Final.

The event in the Educational Development Centre, Prices Plain, Bromley, on June 7, had four rounds, three of which gave competitors just 30 minutes preparation time.

Cator Park's winning trio, Nisa Cooper, Caitlin Johnstone and Kimberly-Anne Williams-Silvera, all 14, will represent Bromley at the London finals on June 27.

Nisa said: "It was a great day and the other teams were so sporting.

"We cannot wait for the final now."
