Our MSP submitted a motion to the Scottish Parliament congratulating the 1st XI team on their two victories in the Aspire Cup and the East District Plate over the last few days.
Congratulations to everyone involved, this is a tremendous sporting success!
Congratulations to Max (S5) who received an award from top chef Tom Kitchin after supporting the Citadel Youth Centre’s Citadel Suppers 2017. The volunteers raised money for the Citadel by cooking and serving a fabulous three-course dinner.
The Citadel has provided community-based youth work in the area since 1980.
Congratulations to the Under-18 rugby team who made it though to the semi final of the Scottish Plate this week. Although the boys lost 5:7, to Marr College from Troon, it was a great achievement to make it so far through the tournament.
In hockey, the first XI team also competed in the semi final of the Aspire Cup on Monday against Dunfermline and won 1:0. They are now through to the final at Glasgow green for the second consecutive year.
Well done to all concerned — players, staff and coaches.
