Senior Women’s Home Internationals Report
By Senior Womens | May 1, 2008
This year’s Home Internationals were held in Cardiff, Wales. Despite the extreme weather conditions Scotland took to the pitch in high spirits ready to put into action all of their hard work this season. Martha, the new national coach, and her team: Katelyn, Colleen, Val and Al, were hard at work on the sidelines giving the team the support they needed.
A disappointing match against Japan on Saturday was followed by a nail biting defeat (in the last minute) to Wales the following day, “it could have gone either way” Wendy Reynolds, Umpire. Some great team goals, excellent defence, and FIGHT from all, made it one of the best Scotland-Wales games ever to be played. The team developed throughout the weekend and went into the England match with a determined spirit, fighting until the final whistle.
It was an extremely positive step on the road to the European Championships this summer, and the World Cup next year.
Results:
Scotland v Japan 10-10
Scotland v Wales 6-7
Scotland v England 2-19
New Caps:
Emma Agnew
Suzie Clark
Ellie Davey
Jemima Garthwaite
Sarah Gordon
Lara Moffat
Jodie Rayner

Child Protection and Volunteering Research
By Admin | April 1, 2008
sportscotland and Children 1st have commissioned the Sport Industry Research Centre at Sheffield University to explore the opinions of club members, parents and volunteers towards child protection legislation and disclosure checking. This research is important as it will allow sportscotland and Children 1st to appropriately support SGBs, clubs and volunteers in the lead up to, and following, the imminent legislative changes in child protection and disclosure checking.
We have been in contact with some SGBs and clubs regarding your help with this project, but in light of feedback we have amended the methodology. The main survey can be accessed electronically here: http://sircspss.hwb.shu.ac.uk/sportscotlandchildren1st/ The survey will also be available in paper format and we will provide as many copies and pre-paid envelopes as you request.
The questionnaire should take no more than 10 minutes to complete and is aimed at club members, parents of junior members and volunteers.
The returns are completely anonymous and cannot be linked to the individual completing them, but we will enter all completed questionnaires into a draw and one club will win £200 of sports equipment as appropriate to them.
Should you wish to discuss the research further please contact Eilidh Nicolson on 0131 472 3218 or by email eilidh.nicolson@sportscotland.org.uk.
