Holyrood U14s v Craigmount (4-17)

The new squad of Under 14s saw their first match against Craigmount High School. With Rachel and Cat still fast asleep at their sleepover the others managed to keep a strong defense until they arrived at half time with a score of 2 goals to 8. A few changes after the first half and the score gap increased to 4-17. However, the final quarter saw 2 very strong defensive teams and neither managed to reach the net, leaving the final score of 4-17 to Craigmount. Holyrood did extremely well in their first game of the season with the player of the match going to Layla with her numerous interceptions and rebounds throughout the game! Well done Holyrood!!

 

Holyrood Babes v Corstorphine (21-9)

The Holyrood Babes have made their coach proud with their first win of the season! They beat Corstorphine very convincingly by 21 goals to 9! All girls played brilliantly and took the court with determination to make this a match to remember. There were some fantastic interceptions, passing up the centre court, resulting in goal after goal to reach 21 in total! Well done to all girls. They have come on so well since September!

Holyrood Primary 7 Tournament

On Saturday, Holyrood's junior club hosted a tournament at the Pleasance for primary school girls in Edinburgh. We had 9 teams, with girls from 8 different schools - approx 80 participants altogether, and used funding from Sportsmatch so the players didn't pay anything to take part. The junior club (Jo, Dianne, Lyndsay and Katherine Connor) would like to thank Pennie, Pam and Cat for their help on the day. Everyone seemed to have a really good time - and hopefully we'll have a lot of the girls coming along to join the junior club after summer. In fact, we think it was such as successful advert for the club that we think we'll need some extra coaches next season. If anyone is interested then please get in touch simpson.jo@googlemail.com - (absolute beginners at coaching and umpiring are more than welcome).
