🏆 U15 FSC FINALS DAY 🏆
Tomorrow we are delighted to welcome all four schools to Horne Park for the first ever FSC Finals Day, following 5-weeks of competition!
Both games kick off at 12noon, so get on down to cheer on the boys if you’re free 🙌🏻
The 1st XV travel to New Anniesland full of confidence after 9 consecutive wins. A 10th would see them crowned Nat Div. 2 champions.
Whatever happens, 2 very good sides will be left disappointed.
Andrew Gillespie makes his 100th appearance. What a day to do it!
