S3 Scottish Cup Netball Game

Congratulations to the following S2&3s who have been selected to represent the school in the first game of the Scottish Netball pool matches against Bishopbriggs tomorrow. Over the last week, we have lost two of our starters Goal Shooter Kayleigh and starting GK (but also back up GS) Rhuna, we wish both girls a speedy recovery. Fortunately we have a very keen and able group of players who have the ability to play multiple positions. We are a small school and we have never had to reschedule a game for missing first team players and we're not going to start now. Injuries will happen to all of us at some point but fixtures have to be played and we will do our best on the day! We wish the team all the best for tomorrow's game:
