For the nineteenth time in twenty-one years, Arbroath High School was the winners of the Angus County Sports. This represents an astonishing, sustained level of success given the competitive nature of the event between the eight Angus secondary schools and the relative sizes of the schools. In addition to the overall success, the team from AHS won the S2, S3 and Senior girls categories as well as the S3 boys.

Angus Cross Country
Well done to all pupils who represented Arbroath High School at the Angus Cross Country Championships which were held at a very windy Monikie Country Park.

Cara Black came 2nd in the Senior Girls and finally Hamish Sutherland winning 1st place in the Senior Boys race. The school then swept a large number of medals in the team events with the S1 Boys and S3 Girls winning Gold, the S3 Boys & Senior Girls winning Silver and the S2 Girls & Senior Boys winning Bronze. Congratulations to all runners who achieved great points for the school leading to the great success’.
Scottish Cup Netball Finals
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.
