All 4 Netball Teams Progress to Scottish Cup

For the first time ever in SGG’s short history in the competition Sgoil Ghàidhlig Ghlaschu have progressed as group winners into the Scottish Cup Competition. Out of all the schools in this years various age group only 2 other schools have managed to win all their local group stage and progress as winners in each age group! How amazing is that! 10 years after starting netball in the school we have come on a long way in terms of the level the players are playing the sport, to now have won each group stage and every age group it’s an absolutely outstanding achievement from the players and the school. 

Now onto business…

Glasgow Schools Champions!

Meet our new Glasgow Schools’ Netball Team Champions! The S1’s went into the final having gained some valuable experience from the Scottish Cup where they progressed all the way to the semi finals. The team were absolutely superb and won the final by over 10 goals which is incredible. All players player in the final so all 9 girls got experience of playing with nerves against great opponents. The girls become the sixth team to win a Glasgow Schools title for SGG which is amazing considering the number of pupils we have to select from as well as the quality, size and great coaches of the schools we come against. 

Our S2s played a 3–way playoff on the one night for the S2 league title. The girls were up against Holyrood and All Saints the girls performed exceptionally well but struggled in only one quarter. A combination of fantastic shooting from the All Saints GS and losing Niamh and Eilidh meant we had to change personnel about and it become too much of a challenge to tackle this year. All Saints were absolutely worthy winners and our players were excellent the last two years and have only lost two games in that time. Once in the final of the Glasgow and by one goal in the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup. Losing games is good as it shows us what we need to work on, you won’t win every game but the players will hopefully come back hungrier to improve and keep learning about the game in S3 and for many years to come.
