The girls played the netball league playoff (top vs second) against Holyrood at the Emirates arena on Wednesday 1st June. The girls knew that this would be a tough game against the best netball school in Glasgow and one of the best in Scotland. Both teams would be looking to take home the title in this winner takes all match.
The game stayed with the better netball in the first half being played by Holyrood. They passed and moved the ball well with their goal attack playing exceptionally well. The third quarter SGG played their best netball of the game. Annabel and Abigail started to link up well together dominating possession. This provided with Seona a lot of opportunities. Although marked by a very good GK, Seona was able to find space and score 5 points in the third quarter...(she did say at half time she was going to do this). In the final quarter both teams gave all their effort to win the match. Holyrood were given lots of opportunities to get back into the game which they did which made the last 3 minutes very nervy for SGG. The final whistle sounded with the result being 19-16 to SGG. A great game by both teams.
Well done to the S1 girls who created history by becoming the first team from the school to win the Glasgow Schools Netball League. Played 9 games, won 9 games. The school has been playing netball for 3 years and this is only the second year the school has entered the league. Next year the school will be entering the Scottish Schools' Cup for the first time. With no facility to play home games the school will hopefully be able to use the Kelvin Hall for some of their games next year.
