Award winners and goodbyes

Thursday 29th May was a sad day at North Berwick Basketball Club as Marie Caie held her last coaching session. It was the end of season session for P5s, P6s and P7s so each of the groups had games followed by trophy presentations. The P7s were joined by coaches and past members for a mini tournament played on the full size court with the 10 foot baskets, a taste of what's to come in High School!

Our award winners were :

Primary 5

• Most Valuable Player - Ethan Hinton
• Coaches' Awards - Fraser Street and Sarah Tyrell

Primary 6

• Most Valuable Player - Cameron Campbell
• Coaches' Awards - Stuart Hagan and Lucy Mitchell

Primary 7

• Most Valuable Player - Finn Baxter

Marie was delighted to receive a card and a gift voucher from the players and their families and flowers and a cake from the committee. Val Gray and Clare Mackle also step down this year and were presented with flowers.

Marie in her leaving speech highlighted how bright the future is for North Berwick Basketball Club with a great new coach in Craig Nicol and a brilliant committee with Jeanette and Kathleen staying on and Liz Noar and Anne Goodall joining.

We wish the Primary 7s good luck at High School and hope they continue to enjoy playing basketball.
