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

Scottish Schools Silver Medalists!

What a fantastic result from Wednesday 3rd October 2018! Our Senior boys team came away with Silver medals at the Scottish Schools Road Race. This is the first medals for the school at this event and a massive achievement for our small school on the National stage. Andrew Carey was first home from the school having worked his way through the field on laps 2 and 3. Daniel Moran and Robaidh Whyte both put in incredible performances to finish in the top 40. Andrew, Daniel and Robaidh all packed very well and finished within 15 seconds of each other and were strongly backed up by David Comerford who finished in the top 55. David worked hard and increased his speed each lap to ensure the team medals were secured. Congratulations to our 4 athletes on their magnificent achievement. 

S3 and Senior Netball Scottish Cup Teams

Good luck to the S3s who are playing their first game of the season on Tuesday against Notre Dame (Greenock). The S3s are looking forward to their first taste of the Scottish Cup as a team. Note Dame look like formidable opponents but the girls will give it their best shot. The seniors also play Notre Dame in their 2nd fixture of their regional league. Notre Dame got to the Gold Final last year and have put massive scores on the board against some great opponents: 93-31 vs Hyndland and 64-20 vs Shawlands. Make sure you’re well rested for Tuesday!
