We are currently working on training and coaching sessions, together with practice matches both amongst the squad members and against other teams. We wish the squad well for the 2009 season.

Junior Coaching

The finally coaching sessions for the juniors for 2008 were held yesterday, Sunday 7th December. On a cold, breezy day 28 girls benefitted from the help and guidance given to them by the Professionals. Our thanks go to Ian Young, Mark Berrie, Paul Malone and Sandy Stephens for their continued support of the Midlothian Junior Girls.

The next coaching session will be on Sunday 4th January 2009. We look forward to seeing all the girls then and wish you all a good Christmas.
