S1 Scottish Cup Netball Team

The S1 Netball team had a tough group stage in the Scottish Cup, losing both games to a very good Holyrood team and Balfron. As a result the team are now in the Bronze section of the Scottish Cup. They have a home game against Holyrood High School from Edinburgh. The girls have been very dedicated this year and I'm looking forward to seeing how their netball improves over the years if they keep up their excellent effort:

Scottish Schools' Indoor Athletics Championships

I can't really believe that it's almost time for the Scottish Schools' Indoors but it is, it's come around quickly. This year we have a smaller group entered, there are only two age groups, under 16 and over 16 so some people are too young for the championships so they'll be entered next year. 

Day 1 

Sarah Bonad - under 16 200m

Eilidh McDougall - over 16 200m

Day 2

Mirren Ward - under 16 60m

Sarah Bonad - under 16 60m

Eilidh McDougall - over 16 60m

Shona Carey - under 16 800m

Good luck!

S3/4 Glasgow Schools Netball Tournament Champions

Congratulations to the S3/4 Netball Team for winning the Glasgow Schools Premier Division Netball Tournament. The girls put a fantastic display of netball together in the 4 group games. Each game was 20 minutes long and with only one sub the girls new it was going to be a tough day physically and mentally. Considering this is a brand new S3/4 team the girls played exceptionally well. Due to the quality of players in the team there was some positional changes with players playing new positions never experienced before. This was a challenge the team relished and worked out exceptionally well in all 4 games. This is the first time the school has won the S3/4 Netball tournament and it was the best quality of teams for some years with ourselves, Holyrood S3 team who were Scottish Gold cup semi finalists last year and Hyndland S3/4 team who have a number or club and district level players in their starting 7, this made for some very competitive games. SGG came out on top with a narrow win in the last game to take home the medals. Well done girls, what a fantastic achievement!

Scottish Cup Draw for Netball Teams

Congratulations to the S3 Netball Team for making in into the top competition of the Scottish Cup. The girls have been placed into the gold section of the cup with the best teams in the country. To get to this level is a fantastic achievement for the girls and the school. Our second ever senior team have played at a higher level than last year and this has resulted in them qualifying for the Silver Cup, last year they were in the Bronze. Our S1s are all new to netball and they start their journey in the sport. They had two tough apponents in the group with Holyrood and Balfron and lost both games so they have qualified for the Bronze cup. They are enthusiastic bunch and have progressed their performances every game so no doubt they will be entered into a silver or gold cup in years to come. Good luck to all our teams:

SGG S1s vs Holyrood (Edin) - Home Game

SGG S3s vs North Berwick High - Away Game

SGG Seniors vs Waid Academy - Away Game
