We are back!

A bit late in posting but we are back in the full swing of PE and Sport at Ard Sgoil Ghàidhlig Ghlaschu. 

Here is the currently club list! Please come along and get join in!

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. 

Scottish Schools Track and Field

A huge congratulations to our new Scottish Schools Athletics Championships Medal Winner! Alexia S1 finished 3rd and took home the Bronze medal for the Long Jump!  This is a reward for Alexia being absolutely brilliant in PE and for all her extra curricular performances at clubs and for our school sports teams! Well done Champ!

Glasgow Schools Multi Events Championships

The Glasgow Schools Multi Events is a run, jump, throw athletics championships where competitors do 3 or 4 events all in the one day. This year we sent Grant Allison our active schools coordinator along with the small squad to the event at Hutchie Track. Like last year Mark MacNeil got on the podium but this year it wasn’t a silver it was Gold! He had an outstanding day with 5m 09 in the Long Jump, 10.44 in the Shot Put and 2.18 in the 800m! Thea also medalled - she came away with a silver medal. Thea is only the second female from the school to medal at these championships! Well done to all our competitors.

Tunnocks Shinty Tournament

Congratulations to the two girls teams for making SGG history. You are the first girls to represent the school at shinty. The two teams played in a tournament vs 3 teams from Uddingston and a team from Kinguisse. This was our first ever experience of the full game of shinty and on a grass pitch! The girls got better with every game after losing the first three the SGG Nashville’s beat an Uddingston team 1-0 then beat SGG Red and Blacks 2-0 so they progressed to the semi finals. They were up against Uddingston 2s who beat them 1-0 earlier the day. The girls put a brilliant performance in to win 2-0 against the odds. This meant the team reached the FINAL! What an achievement! Kinguisse won 3-0 but the girls played well, Sophie Allison was highly complimented by the opposition coaches for her heroics in goals. Mr Thompson the organiser also commented on the improvement of the team throughout the day. Looking forward to more shinty competitions next year! Well done to both teams!
