Congratulations to all our young Lothian badminton players who took part in the Scottish Schools Senior Inter-Area Team Event at the Penicuik centre on Sunday 27th October.
We had two Lothian teams taking part in this event, and both had a successful day.
The Lothian A team were triumphant, beating Glasgow & North Strathclyde 7-4 in the final match, to regain the trophy they lost very narrowly last year.
Lothian A:
Lucy Degg (North Berwick HS), Emma Joshua (Mary Erskine), Tushara Senthilrajaram (Linlithgow Academy), Poppy Shell (Boroughmuir HS)
David Campbell (Dunbar GS), Ben Ross (James Gillespie’s HS), Tushar Senthilrajaram (Linlithgow Academy), Blair Whitson (Firrhill HS)
Manager – Irene Blair
Lothian B team:
Amy Hunter (Craigmount HS), Emily Jobson (James Gillespie’s HS), Sophie Walker (Penicuik HS), Maggie Wang (George Heriot’s)
Jacob Glass (Ross HS), Alex Lin (George Heriot’s), Josh Ryan (Beeslack HS), Dylan Walker (Penicuik HS)
They also performed exceptionally well, taking two rubbers off the Glasgow team, and edging out Lanark 6-5 to take third place.
The players truly represented the widespread of Lothian, from Linlithgow in the west, to Dunbar in the east, with many others from Edinburgh and Midlothian.
Well done, everyone!
