Watson`s triumph

SCOTTISH SCHOOLS CUP FINALS AT PEFFERMILL (GIRLS) – 08
MARCH 2012

Hannah Cockburn was the toast of George Watson`s
College, she scored the only goal in the final against Mary
Erskine`s School in an all-Edinburgh contest  to retain the
girl`s Scottish Schools Cup at Peffermill.

   Cockburn`s goal, her seventh of the tournament
overall, came from a penalty corner mid-way through the match.

Cockburn was also the catalyst in Watson`s semi-final defeat of
The High School of Glasgow, this time her open play strike came in
the opening five minutes.  In the other semi-final Mary
Erskine defeated Kelso High School 2-0, both goals coming in the
second half from Amy McPherson and Lucy Preston.

George Watson`s piled on the goals in the earlier pool stages of
the competition to finish top, in the opening game the Edinburgh
school beat Kelso 2-0 with strikes from Ailsa Small and Felicity
Johnson.  St Columba`s were then swamped 6-0, Cockburn notched
a hat-trick, Anna Bryans scored twice and Kirsten Peters got the
other.  It was a similar score against Gordonstoun School in
the final pool match, Cockburn and Johnson got two each while
Bryans and Kirsty McKean also scored.

Mary Erskine`s progress in the group stages was not so
impressive, they started with a goalless draw with The High School
of Glasgow, beat Robert Gordon`s College by a single goal from
Caitlin Gray and finally saw off Strathallan by a similar score,
Amy McPherson getting the important strike.
