A SCHOOL’S netball team are celebrating after lifting a prestigious national prize.

North Berwick High School’s S1 and S2 teams had made it through to national finals at the Emirates Stadium in Glasgow last month.

The younger age group took on Edinburgh’s St George’s School in the final of the Scottish Schools Plate and enjoyed a 23-13 win.

A dominant opening quarter saw the county school race into a 12-1 lead that they never looked like surrendering.

Starting shooters Penny Morrison and Elsa Heimer-Mason started well with a 100 per cent success rate.

A spokesperson for the team said: “Every one of the squad took to the court and played their part in the win.

“It has been such a journey for this team led by captain Isla Dale, who amazed the crowd at the finals with her drives and intercepts through court.

“It was such a joy to watch it all come together on court.”

Meanwhile, the S2 group came up against Strathallan School in the final of the Scottish Schools Cup.

Unfortunately, the East Lothian team had to settle for silver as they lost out 32-17 to their Perthshire opponents.

The spokesperson said: “This young team gave their all for the full 40 minutes, they knew this was going to be a tough match against a class side such as Strathallan.

“Although nerves played a part, they never gave up and they worked with 100 per cent effort right until the final whistle.

“Every one of them should be so proud of themselves, they are an amazing group of athletes that I have the pleasure of taking through this competition.

“Most of the girls attend and have worked so hard with extra training at the club with their coaches there Maryann Cosgrove and Sonia Livesey at the Bass Rocketeers Netball Club to be better every year.

“We are already looking forward to challenging again next year with this two groups.”
