On Friday 13^th February, Braidhurst High School’s senior girls had a great victory in the Scottish Cup, allowing them to progress into the quarter finals in the Silver section.

The girls have been busy this year with their studies, however still manage to make time for Netball, a sport which they are all passionate and enthusiastic about.

The girls were up against Lasswade High School from Edinburgh.

When the game got started it was clear they were ready for a challenging game and all played extremely well with some lovely set plays.   The passes were strong, spacing was never an issue and that began to show very quickly during the first quarter.   The score at the end of the first quarter was 13-1, with our shooters Gill Scott and Holly Worton rarely missing a shot.

In the second quarter, Lasswade seemed to fight a little more, with some changes being made to their team during the break, however Lyndsay McLean and Courtney North were there to crush all of these.   The quarter finished on 32-3.

The third quarter the girls continued to pull together as a team and took on a larger lead, finishing the quarter with a 38 goal lead.

In the final quarter, Lasswade were trying their hardest, but Braidhurst’s girls were not allowing anything to stop them finishing the game with the score of 56-6.

The girls are now into the quarter finals and will be travelling to Aberdeen this week for their next game.
