Peebles junior teams have performed with distinction over the last few weeks as their regional matches in the Scottish Schools’ Cup and Scottish Youth Cup have taken place home and away.
Peebles S1s secured a confident victory over Firrhill S1, with all four Peebles school teams at S1, S2, S3 and senior level winning their respective pools to take them all into the gold section of the knock-out stage.
Peebles Pulse enjoyed the new facilities at the Oriam, Heriot Watt university, in a mid-week Scottish Youth Cup match against Edinburgh’s U15 Diamonds, and were pleased to come away with a solid scoreline in their favour.
Borders U17s, involving 9 Peebles Netball players, have packed a punch well above weight, to take on the might of Scotland’s 20 U17 Districts over a series of performance days. Their hard-fought for win over Renfrewshire last weekend in Dundee secured them a place on finals’ day in the play-off for 3rd place against Edinburgh in December.
Beaten only by Glasgow and South Lanarkshire who compete for top spot, Borders U17s have shown sheer grit and determination to secure their placing within the top 4 Districts in Scotland.
