S1 Netball Team 2nd in Glasgow Schools League

A big congratulations to the S1 Netball team who finished in 2nd place in the Glasgow Schools League. The team has progressed very well throughout the year. All players in the team have been attending training every week since the beginning of S1! The team has changed a few times since the beginning of the year with lots of different positional changes each game. This means that most of the girls in the team are competent in a variety of different positions which is good news going forward into S2. Here's some information on the girls team:

 

Orlagh - GK - Great defence for the team. Made a lot of shot blocks with good defensive stance.


Rhianna - GK/WD/GS - Played in a number of different positions this year. Rhianna is also an excellent shooter and has played GS for the team.


Kerry - GD/GA - Very good in both positions. Great movement to get free, excellent interceptions and good accuracy when shooting.


Leena - WD/WA/GA/GS - A very good all round player. Leena has played in almost every postion this year. Played well in big games for us in WD and in the festival played very well at GS/GA.


Abbey - C/GD - Abbey has played Centre more so than any postion. Fast, strong and she has good endurance. She's also played for the S2 team in the Scottish Cup and started for that team in WD.


Ceitidh - WD/WA - great movement to get free from her marker. Her catching, passing has all improved a lot this year which has made her a regular starter for the school team.


Peggy-Nan - C/GA/WA - Peggy-Nan who didn't play Netball in primary has progressed very well this year. She has played the majority of the games at GA but has also started to play Centre due to her fantastic speed and endurance round the court.


Millie Soutar - GA/GS - Millie who started the year saying 'I can't shoot' has not only become a great GS for the S1s she was also starting GS for the S2 team on their way to the Scottish Cup Semi Finals. Her highest goals scored in a game is 26.

The girls will re-enter the Glasgow Schools' league next. Looking forward to it already! 

Congratulations to Holyrood Secondary for winning the league.
