We’re off to cheer on Clyde FC again tomorrow.  We’re taking 98 pupils, parents and staff to go along and lend our support.  Lauren Thompson and Terry McMillan will be the offical team mascots on the day and 22 of our pupils will be going onto the pitch at half time to take part in a 10 second challenge.

I’ll post some of the best pictures here next week.

For those going, see you at the school at 1pm.  Remember to wrap up warm. You can bring snacks and drinks, but remember no cans or bottles allowed. We should be back at the school again at around 5:30.

There is a brilliant article about the school’s visit to Clyde on the Clyde FC website.

Well done to the P6 boys football team who represented Hallside in the TSB Junior 7s tournament on Wednesday.

They narrowly missed out on a place in the next round after playing superbly in all three of their fixtures: winning 10-0 and 5-2, but unfortunately, despite numerous chances, including hitting the post, twice, they went down 2-1 to the eventual winners of their group.

Perfect behaviour, impeccable sportsmanship and brilliant football as always.

Well done to the Senior Boys football team, who this week defeated Spittal Primary 12-2 to go back joint top of the league with James Aiton.

The team was:

Andrew Rushbury, Kyle Maxwell, Dylan Mills, Lewis Slivinski, Ross Taylor, Ewan Coleman, Austin Sime, Reece Paterson & Oliver Cameron

Well done boys.

March 19th has now been confirmed as the date for the senior boys team to go and compete against the other regional winners in the South of Scotland Finals of the TSB Scottish Schools Senior 7s, at Palmerston Park, Dumfries. Kick off will be at 11.00 am and we will set off to return at 1.30pm. Good luck boys.

Well done to former Hallside Primary pupil Duncan Weir who has just scored a fantastic drop kick with only a few seconds on the clock to secure a 21-20 win for Scotland over Italy in Rome.

Superb!

The boys team will also then be playing the South of Scotland finals of the Scottish Schools FA Cup on 19th March, at Palmerston Stadium, Dumfries (absolute confirmation of the details of this event are still to be sent through).

Enjoy your discos tonight guys! Unfortunately I can’t make it as it is my son’s 8th birthday today and we already had tickets booked for something else.

Have fun.

I’ll be boogying with you all in spirit!!!
