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

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.
