Monday 12^th April was set to be an exciting day for Braidhurst High School’s S2 and S4 netball team, as the teams consecutively took to the court to play in the North Lanarkshire League final. The S2 girls were first up in what was to be a very close encounter against St Ambrose High School. The game was very close for the first three quarters, with the Braidhurst girls dominating the majority of play. However, in the final quarter, St Ambrose came out very strongly and managed to take further advantage of their narrow lead. Despite some excellent examples of defending by both Amber Waldron and Hannah Gordon, Braidhurst were unable to come out on top. St Ambrose won the game 7-5.

Next up were the S4 girls who were up against St Andrews High School. Again, this game was very close with both teams matching each other goal for goal. However, Braidhurst showed great determination and managed to take a narrow lead in the third quarter with the score 11-10. It was evident that the Braidhurst girls took confidence from this and they continued to apply pressure in the final quarter. Excellent shooting from both Holly Worton and Gillian Scott enabled Braidhurst to maintain a small lead with the final score ending 16-11. The Braidhurst girls rounded off a very successful season by being crowned North Lanarkshire Champions for their age category. A massive well done to both teams for a very successful year for the school netball club!!
