Six of the eight girls had their first experience of Netball at the Glasgow tournament in March 2014. Since then more of the S2s have started playing the game this year and the team have had some new additions to the team like Niamh Robertson who was playing in only her second game against Bannerman and Katrin Swan who has only been playing since October. Great to see enthusiasm for the sport amongst the S2s.
The girls started the game slowly and were clearly playing with nerves. Bannerman were the far superior team in the first and second quarter, making most of their chances resulting in the half time score 7-5 to Bannerman.
After half time the girls started playing much better, there was a complete re-structure of line up apart from Morag who stayed Goal Attack. In the second half the girls were playing with more confidence and started making better pass choices and their defending had improved. Aimee changed roles from GD to GS which ultimately changed the game for Glasgow Gaelic. Aimee and Morag started playing well together and were linking up well with Katrin (C) and Daisy (WA) creating a lot of chances in the thrid and fourth quarter. Niamh (WD), Catriona (GD) and Margaret (GK) were fully focussed on competing for every ball but had a difficult task with the Bannerman team who were excellent on the attack. The girls in the final quarter of the game played great and doubled their points score from the previous 3 quarters with the final score being Bannerman 10-16 Glasgow Gaelic. Well done girls.

The girls and Mr MacCorquodale would like to wish Sarah and Robyn a speedy recovery back to full fitness and look forward to having them back in the team sometime soon.
