We had a very successful season, winning both the National League and the Scottish Cup.
I also began coaching at North Berwick Basketball Club at this time.

I started playing basketball when I was in Primary 6 and joined the North Berwick club where I was coached by Marie.
In Primary 7 I was selected for theEast Lothian primary squad and really enjoyed playing at lunch time in the small tournaments that Mr Barnes and Miss Allan organised.
I went on to play basketball in the under 12s, under 14s and under 16s East Lothian League.
When I was in 1st, 2nd and 3rd year I played for theScotland
When the East Lothian under 16s finished, I went to play for the City ofEdinburgh Kings Basket
I trained with the Kings twice a week for two years but in 5th year I felt I had to stop going as I was also playing a lot of Volleyball which is now my main sport (the games were always on the same day and often the same time so I couldn't give enough commitment to my team).
I played basketball for the North Berwick High School Team in 2010 when we were runners up in the Open Boys age group in the Scottish Cup.
I am currently at Edinburgh University where I hope to play for the university team.
Andrew O'Connor
I started playing basketball 5 years ago and was taught (coached) mainly by my elder brother who has come very far himself in basketball, so therefore, a lot of what I know I have learnt from him. I have played for North Berwick High School Basketball team from the end of 2004 - present and for a short time, the North Berwick Basketball club coached by Marie. I feel that I have developed well as a senior basketball player and would hope to continue playing for as long I can. In my view I am a good example for children that are short in height, as being just 5 foot 7 ins myself I give them the incentive to persevere in order to develop well in basketball and like me, develop into being a reliable senior player. In the summer of each year I play for a basketball team in England. I would like to be a permanent member but I live in Scotland, so therefore I am called upon each year in the October holiday.
Once I have finished school I plan to go on to college then university and would like to join the university’s basketball club (team). I am hoping to achieve good grades at university and if given the opportunity, a professional career from basketball.
