Peebles S1 13

North Berwick S1 16

THE finals of the Scottish Schools’ were held over two days at Ravenscraig sports complex.

Peebles High School S1s had made it through multiple rounds to reach the finals of the gold section.

Hundreds of schools in Scotland started in the championship, with only the best reaching the bronze, silver and gold finals.

Peebles S1s looked the part in warm up and started the match well, producing a lead which they held for most of the game.

But nerves were evident in abundance, and as the final minutes approached, the game plan looked shaky, giving several opportunities for North Berwick to regain control.

Peebles were unfortunate to let a few goals slip past them at the final hurdle, and at the whistle it was North Berwick who had snatched the victory.

Peebles S1s were delighted with their silver medals on the big stage.

This marks an unprecedented 11 years of Peebles Netball teams reaching the finals of the Scottish Schools’ Cup gold section.

Peebles S1: Lucy Smith (Capt), Nairne Wells (Vice Capt), Lorna Adams, Rachel Lothian, Jess Mitchell, Keeley Rippin, Cerys Finn, Ellie Farndon, Erin Fulton, Erin Ackerman.
