Well done to BHS Senior Boys Basketball Team who managed a slim victory against St Ninians HS, winning 24-26.
Barrhead started the game brilliantly with some excellent inter-play between D Mundemba and A Watson. Into the second quarter with Barrhead leading 7-11, St Ninians stormed into the lead, finishing the half 17-13 ahead.
In the second half both teams tired a little, which allowed J Beatt to demonstrate some excellent individual skill by driving to the basket on numerous occasions. The final few minutes of the game were frantic, with Barrhead ahead by two points both teams used time-outs to tweak their offences. Further good work from D Mundemba in defense ensured victory for Barrhead.
Well done to all of the boys involved, including those that debuted for the team – E. Stevenson, A Innes, R Cooper, A Gilmour, S Ahmed, N Telerman and K McCormack.
Well done to Barrhead girls football team who were undefeated again last night at Toryglen Glasgow football league.
An outstanding performance from all 7 players!
Barrhead High School’s under 18s football team hosted the most local derby ever – a match against Barrhead High’s under 16s! The game was closer than anyone had expected: with both teams playing superbly as they attempted to claim the pride. Jamie Cochran gave the under-18s the lead with a fine goal and it looked as though it might be a smooth sail for the seniors when they were given a penalty not long after. However the shot was saved by the in-form 16s goalkeeper Ross Cooper. The game really took off when a bullet-header from Steven Pringle gave the younger team the equaliser. The enthralling game could be summed up as a great defensive show from both teams as the defenders were more than matching the strikers. In regulation time, the game finished 1-1; with the seniors taking the victory in a, just as even, penalty competition. Regardless of the result, the performance of both teams stands them in good stead for the coming season. Well Done!
