S4 Football Results \u2013 Report by Reece Palmer, 4A2<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

With Coltness looking to improve from the previous week\u2019s poor performance, the game started evenly with both sides struggling to create chances in a tightly packed midfield. It had to take something special to break the dead lock but that was on the card as Euan Scott (Coltness & Airdrie United) played an exquisite back-heel through to Coltness new boy Jamie Staniard who rifled home for 1-0. The drastic momentum switch caught St Margaret\u2019s off guard and they found themselves picking the ball out of the net after Euan beat the keeper himself. St Margaret\u2019s then produced a great save from Robbie Gardner as some tidy play from their left winger saw him beat two and thunder a shot into the far corner only for Robbie to produce the goods. Euan and Jamie both added to the Coltness tally again before half-time. St Margaret\u2019s showed their quality in the end as on the stoke of half-time Robbie was found in no-man\u2019s land as the number nine\u2019s delightful chip sailed over him: 4-1.<\/p>\n

Coltness made changes at half-time as squad rotation will be key in the long season ahead. St Margaret\u2019s struggled to complete anything as Euan completed his hat-trick with a simple finish to the keeper\u2019s left. A late Matthew Craig double sealed a routine win for the fantastic fourth years. It was a good win overall but St Margaret\u2019s missed their goal keeper and a few key players. The team took confidence from the game and, hopefully, into their next fixture.<\/p>\n

Duke of Edinburgh Success<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A group of S4 pupils from Coltness have successfully completed the final expedition for their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award. They enjoyed fine weather as they navigated around the Campsie hills. The pupils had to cook for themselves and carry all their camping equipment.<\/p>\n

The school is delighted with the number of pupils doing Duke of Edinburgh awards – 22 pupils were on the final expedition. The school runs the Bronze group in partnership with local group Made4UinML2 and the council’s department of Community Learning and Development. With the expedition successfully completed, the young people now have to finish off the other sections of the award before progressing to Silver.<\/p>\n

S1 Cycling Success <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jon McGhie, a first year pupil at Coltness High School, has cycled from Fort William to Inverness – the Great Glen Way.\u00a0 This is a total of approximately 74 miles and covers lovely scenery in and around the Loch Ness area with some strenuous hill climbs.\u00a0 On the first day Jon, and his Dad, Jim, cycled from Fort William to Fort Augustus – the longest part of the journey.\u00a0 The second day was from Fort Augustus to Drumnadrochit and on the third day they cycled from Drumnadrochit to Inverness.\u00a0 What an achievement for a 12 year old who also wanted to raise money for charity – Macmillan Cancer Support now has more than \u00a3300 thanks to Jon, and his Dad!\u00a0 Needless to say, all the family are very proud of them as is the school! Well done Jon!<\/p>\n
