Burnside Sporting Round Up

Netball
The netball team had the opportunity to play at Carlogie Primary School for their latest tournament.  The girls have been coming to netball practice every week and have continued to show GRIT.  The girls were much more confident at the match and this showed in their performance.  They were delighted, as was Miss Fairweather, when they played well together and won some points.  The team are continuing to develop and practise their skills and some primary 6 girls have also started to come along which will help the team learn together.  We are looking forward to the next tournament already.

Well done girls, go Burnside Netball Team!

Football
Our school football team competed recently in the Carnoustie cluster inter-schools football tournament. The Burnside team performed extremely well, showing GRIT and determination in all of their matches against some tough opposition. Burnside finished 2nd on the day behind a consistent Grange team. The boys were a credit to the school and showed excellent sportsmanship throughout. We are now training hard in preparation for our next challenge in May.
