Netball: The Tayside and Fife Challenge

Leave a comment

More success for our school netball teams as one senior team and three further teams made up of pupils from S2 and S3 travelled to the Bells Sports Centre in Perth to participate in the Tayside and Fife Schools Challenge Cup.

The format for the junior competition was a round robin with two groups. Both the AHS A and B teams topped their groups with the C team placing 3rd and narrowly missing the semi-finals. AHS A and B then won their respective semi-finals to set up an all AHS final which was of a very high standard.

The senior girls also played a round robin winning two group matches and then winning the final to take the senior title.

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.

Congratulations to the S1, S2 & S3 Netball teams who have all made it through to the Scottish Cup Semi-Finals.  All 3 teams faced tough competition in their quarter finals and all had the extra pressure of playing away from home.  The S1 girls played extremely well against St Andrews Academy, they took control from the start of the game winning 29-9.  The S2 girls faced rivals Peebles High School which was a testing game.  The girls went down 8-1 in the 1st quarter but managed to pull it back to level by the 3rd quarter.  With a lot of hard work and determination the girls took control in the last quarter winning the game 25-18.  The S3 girls also faced their hardest contest yet against Strathaven Academy.  Again the girls went down by 2 in the 1st quarter and were still down by half time.  The girls gave their all and took a lead of 3 in the 3rd quarter.  The game then went goal for goal until the last 5 minutes where our girls pulled away to take the win 45-37.
