The last of three Dumbarton netball festivals took place recently and there was plenty to play for with the top two schools booking their spot in the West Dunbartonshire final.
In total six primaries attended including St Patrick’s, St Michael’s, Aitkenbar, St Peter’s and Knoxland.
At the festivals, schools played each other in a round robin format with three points for a win, two for a draw and one for a loss.
Following the trio of events, the points were tallied up with St Michael’s and Aitkenbar securing their place in the final on June 13 at Clydebank Leisure Centre, where they will play against the top schools from the Vale and Clydebank.
Emma McCluskey, Active Schools coordinator, told the Reporter: “Clearly the pupils have been continuing with their training as there were great improvements from festivals one and two.
“Overall it was a great event with some fantastic netball being played. The children also showed great sportsmanship proudly representing their schools.
“A huge thanks to Michelle from Dumbarton Harp ladies team who kindly gave up her time to umpire.”
