Firstly congratulations to the S1, S2 & S3 netball teams who made it through to the Scottish Cup Netball Finals. All 3 teams fought hard throughout the competition and all 3 teams were unbeaten going into the finals. The finals took place last Friday at Ravenscraig Sports Centre, Motherwell. After a very early 6 o clock start to the day the S1 girls were up first against St Peter’s. The girls started steadily however St Peter’s were just too strong and as the game went on extended their lead to win 35-12. Next up were the S2 girls who faced St George’s. The girls started strong and took control of the game early on. St George’s fought well but the Arbroath girls wanted the title too much to let anyone get in their way and became Scottish Cup Champions winning 25-13. The S3 girls then played Notre Dame to defend their title for the 3rd year running. The girls gave a very strong performance and showed their domination from the start of the match. Notre Dame played well but couldn’t match the talent from the Arbroath girls. The girls kept a lead throughout the game winning comfortably 29-18. The S3 girls have made a huge achievement as their team has now been unbeaten for 3 years running and have won the title of Scottish Cup Champions in S1, S2 & S3. Over 120 schools entered the Netball Scottish Cup this year and for 3 Arbroath High teams to make it to the finals is a huge achievement. Congratulations to all girls that have been involved in the squad throughout the year.
