Good girls

-

We have read recently about the very aggressive behaviour by some of our high profile senior footballer­s, which is not a very good example for younger players.

Recently, my wife and I had the pleasure of attending a very important football match between the girls of South Morningsid­e Primary 6/7 versus Liberton Primary 6/7 in which our granddaugh­ter was taking part.

The match was fiercely contested by both teams ending in a 1-1 draw without any aggressive behaviour by either side. At the end the two teams lined up and shook hands with each other.

Well done girls – you are a credit to your coaches and teachers.
