Well done to our U15 boys Basketball team last night finishing off phase 1 of the Scottish cup with a 73-61 victory over Dingwall. The team played some excellent basketball particularly on offence where our accurate passing and timely runs into the key proved difficult for the Dingwall defence.
MVP of the game goes to Angus Sharkey scoring almost half of our points as well as some clinical rebounds and passing.
Special mention to coaches Jack and Judah for their hard work over the last couple of weeks undoubtedly making big improvements to the team! 
Thank you very much to the S4 parents who came along to our S4 into S5 options information evening. If you could not attend, you can see a copy of the presentation here
