Friday 12th May was the last of the handball competitions for this year and it saw the S1/2 boys head up to Ravenscraig to compete in the Scottish Finals, in Motherwell.

This was the first time many of the boys had experienced this level of handball and we were reliant on the guidance and skill of our older boys Lewis Young, William Prince, Ross Rollie, Nathan Brown, Caleb Robertson and Scott Howie.

With a tough loss to Marr College in our first game we were always playing catch up. Wins against Our Lady’s in Cumbernauld and Deans from Edinburgh saw us needing a win against Kelvinside Academy to reach the semi-finals. The boys were trailing by 2 goals with 1 minute left and managed to pull it back to tie, but couldn’t find the winning goal. 

A 4th/5th place play-off game saw our boys rally again and thanks to Captain and top goal-scorer  on the day – Lewis Young – we got over the line with a win and a respectable 4th place.

A good building block for us and ready to make some gains next year!
