Deserializing dynamic json object to listbox databinding

I have the following json:

{
  "COMPETITIONS": [
    {
      "name": "Name 1",
      "id": "76-7011",
      "ltable": "0"
    },
    {
      "name": "Name 2",
      "id": "116-7",
      "ltable": "0"
    },
    {
      "name": "Name 3",
      "id": "217-68",
      "ltable": "0"
    }
  ]
}

This is deserialized as dynamic using Json.net

 dynamic jsonResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(result);

I want to pass this data to a listbox such as

lb.ItemsSource = jsonResponse

<Page.Resources>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="DataTemplate1">
            <Grid>
                <TextBlock x:Name="textBox" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding name}" d:LayoutOverrides="Width, Height" Foreground="Black"/>
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </Page.Resources>

But it tells me:

Error: BindingExpression path error: 'name' property not found on 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject, Newtonsoft.Json, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed'. BindingExpression: Path='name' DataItem='Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject, Newtonsoft.Json, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed'; target element is 'Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.TextBlock' (Name='textBox'); target property is 'Text' (type 'String')

Any advice please at parse this to the listbox without moving away from dynamic and using classes?

You can create class to deserialize your JSON.

public class COMPETITION
{
    public string name { get; set; }
    public string id { get; set; }
    public string ltable { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public List<COMPETITION> COMPETITIONS { get; set; }
}

than you can deserialize using the below code

var jsonResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<COMPETITION>(result);
