The team had a few late call offs due to various commitments. This resulted in a very last minute call up for Louise Templeton S2 who thankfully was able to play despite only being asked 15 minutes before departure. Louise was playing football at the Toryglen Xmas cup that day too so we appreciate her helping out the S1s who were a player short.
The team lined up with: Captain Jessica GK, Erin Mo GD, Adanna WD, Shannon C, Louise WA, Caitlin GA, Abigail GS and Iona Sub.
The girls were up against a mix team of S1-3 pupils from John Paul Academy. The game throughout was tight with both teams taking some time to familiarise themselves with rules and positional responsibilities. The game was very competitive and it was decided by only one point with the game finishing John Paul 5-6 Glasgow Gaelic.
Adanna who was playing her very first game of netball played very well at Wing Defence. Erin Moran at Goal Defence and Shannan Craw at Centre showed no signs of fatigue despite also being at Toryglen for football that day. Jessica was strong at Goal Keeper and made sure she competed for every ball. Louise playing in an unfamiliar position of wing attack linked well with Caitlin and Abigail. Abigail finished as top goal scorer with 3 points thanks to good work alongside Caitlin at GA. Iona came on at Goal Shooter and got into good shooting positions. Well done girls on a good performance against strong opposition.
Mr MacCorquodale would like to encourage all the S1s to attend training on a Tuesday or Thursday after the new year. There are two friendlies coming up in January against experienced opponents so it will be important to attend training in the lead up to these games.
