Thurso High School compete at netball festival in Orkney playing against Kirkwall Grammar and Stromness

Thurso High School senior netball team travelled to Kirkwall to play in a netball festival.

They took on Stromness in their first match who started strong and Thurso took a quarter to find their rhythm and gain confidence. Thurso had a strong second quarter and were working well in the shooting circle.

In the end the experience of Stromness was too much for Thurso with Stromness winning 31-13.

Thurso then went straight into their next match against Kirkwall Grammar School which proved to be a tough test.

Kirkwall Grammar's sharp, fast passing made it difficult for Thurso to keep up with and recorded a 58-6 victory.

Team spokeswoman Seonaid MacDonald said: "Thurso Girls enjoyed the game experience and have learnt a lot from their day away."
