Hockey Success
Congratulations to the S1 "A" team on winning the S1 Eight -a- Side East District Tournament held on Thursday 4 March. This is now the 6th time in the last 7 years that a Heriot's S1 team has won this competition.
The team won their three round robin matches, beating Currie HS 4-0, Firrhill HS 7-0 and Trinity Academy 2-0. Next they beat Mary Erskine School 1-0 in the semi final with the winning goal being scored by Lorna Cruickshank. The final was an exciting and closely contested match against George Watson's College but eventually Heriot's proved too strong, scoring two goals in quick succession to win 2-0. The goal-scorers were Katherine Buckle and Jennifer Kerr.
The girls played fantastically well and to emphasise this point, goalkeeper Melissa Longmore didn't have one save to make throughout the entire tournament!
The team comprised of: McKenzie Bell (Captain), Katherine Buckle, Lorna Cruickshank, Eilidh Gilmour, Jennifer Kerr, Melissa Longmore, Caitlin McIntosh, Alison Parr, Anna Polson, Zoe Smith
