Craigiebarns Girls Cup Winners

On Wednesday 12th June, the Girls Football Team featured in an exciting and nail-biting cup final against Longhaugh, where they went on to lift the trophy after an emphatic 7-2 win.   After many of the girls featured in last year's final defeat, they made sure to take their chances this year and went into the break 5-1 up.  Some excellent goalkeeping, strong defending and outstanding attacking play allowed the girls to get their hands on the trophy; a first in the history of the school.
