Silver Lining for Mid & East Team
Our Mid and East Lothian U14 team were both excited and nervous en-route to Ravenscraig Sports Centre, Motherwell as this was the first outing at this level of competition for some of our young players.
Our team comprised of 2nd year pupils Kirsty Morrison, John Arbuckle and Ross Mcfarlane, North Berwick H.S. plus 1st year pupils Emma Lessels, Anna Robertson and Archie Bryden, Preston Lodge H.S. Amanda Martin from Knox Academy and Cameron Pike from Dunbar H.S. Each player had to play in 2 events in every match in the 10 event format which was a tough ask for our younger less experienced players. After our first 5- all draw with Scottish Borders our team relaxed and played more confidently to beat Lanarkshire 7 – 3 and the North East 7 – 1. Last up for us was Edinburgh and despite a brave effort and some close games they ran out the winners and took the Junior Title.
Mid & East were delighted to take 2nd place and win the silver trophies as the players enjoyed a great experience and all performed well throughout a very challenging day.
