Tunnocks Shinty Tournament

Congratulations to the two girls teams for making SGG history. You are the first girls to represent the school at shinty. The two teams played in a tournament vs 3 teams from Uddingston and a team from Kinguisse. This was our first ever experience of the full game of shinty and on a grass pitch! The girls got better with every game after losing the first three the SGG Nashville’s beat an Uddingston team 1-0 then beat SGG Red and Blacks 2-0 so they progressed to the semi finals. They were up against Uddingston 2s who beat them 1-0 earlier the day. The girls put a brilliant performance in to win 2-0 against the odds. This meant the team reached the FINAL! What an achievement! Kinguisse won 3-0 but the girls played well, Sophie Allison was highly complimented by the opposition coaches for her heroics in goals. Mr Thompson the organiser also commented on the improvement of the team throughout the day. Looking forward to more shinty competitions next year! Well done to both teams!
