So proud of this S3 squad 💙🏑

The girls narrowly missed out on a place in the final last Friday—having a goalkeeper might have made the difference—but that doesn’t take away from how unbelievably they played. Their teamwork, attitude, and determination were outstanding from start to finish.

What makes it even more special is the commitment they’ve shown all year—never missing a session, training through the worst weather, and always eager to learn and improve.

Couldn’t be prouder as a coach. The perfect way to round off a fantastic year of hockey 👏✨

Proud moment for Wilton Primary School, representing Hawick at the Borders Basketball Finals 2026 🏀👏 Finishing in an impressive second place, the team showed outstanding teamwork, determination, and some of the best layups of the day. A fantastic achievement—well done, boys!🥈

S1 Hockey Tournament – Saturday 21st March 🏑

A brilliant day of effort and progress from our S1 teams. The B team drew two games and were incredibly unlucky to lose the third with the last hit of the match. The A team battled hard, narrowly losing two and conceding a last-minute goal to draw their final game.

So proud of the teamwork, determination and the progress shown by all players — especially with so few games played this year. A great platform to build on for the future! 💪
