Spean take top spot in netball tournament
Spean Bridge Primary triumphed at the Lochaber primary schools netball tournament, beating this year’s league champions, Lundavra Primary, in a tense final, which was decided by just one goal.
Both teams have shown a massive improvement since last year, with pupils and coaches working really hard at their regular after-school sessions.
Although the tournament is held on just one evening, the league runs over two terms, with each primary school arranging to play the others.
This year, second-place in the league was secured by Caol Primary, with Bun-Sgoil Ghaidhlig Loch Abar taking third.
The inter-schools netball competitions are organised as part of the Active Schools programme but would not be possible without considerable help.
Bridget Thomas, Active Schools coordinator, said: ‘Huge thanks to the pupils from Lochaber High School who did a great job umpiring, timing and score keeping and to the teachers, senior pupils, school staff and parents who support and coach the primary school teams through the year.’
