Glasgow City State Schools Road Relay

Well what a race it was. This year all schools who had entered previously had improved their times compared to previous years. This was one of the aim when I set up the state schools track and field that pupils would get the opportunity to participate in road, athletics and cross country events but also that the standard would improve for all schools. A big well done to all the schools who took part and made this years event a brilliant one to spectate. SGG Red made it 4 wins in a row. Something which they had to work extremely hard for. 

S1 Netball Team

Our S1 Netball Team have also made it into the Scottish Cup last 16! The girls had a very good second half performance in their knockout match showing maturity in the way they transitioned the ball from defence to attack. Everyone got court time again and it was great to see Rhona and Lexie take part in their first match for the school team! Well done to the S1’s. 

Senior Netball Team

A huge congratulations to our Senior Netball Team for making it into the last 16 of the competition. We probably have the youngest squad in this year’s Scottish Cup with 4 x S3s, 3 x S4’s and 3 x S5’s the team will all be back for more next year. Well done team!

Daibhidh

A huge congratulations to Daibhidh Kinnaird who finished 4th at the recent Scottish u17 Short Course Cross-Country Championships. Daibhidh a first year in the u17 event performed exceptionally well in this race against older more experienced runners. Good luck for the rest of the season!
