Royal success at the races for Grangemouth’s Queen-to-be

Erin, from Moray Primary School, won the P6 girls 80 metres race at the Children’s Day Sports event in Grangemouth Stadium, while fellow Moray Primary pupils Libby Cassidy and Brodie Stewart, two of Erin’s Ladies in Waiting, won the primary three girls race and primary four girls race respectively.

The athletics was just one the Children’s Day sporting activities in the run up to Saturday – last week Beancross Primary School football team won the Lex Cook Cup and the Moray Primary team captured the British Legion Cup at LK Galaxy.

A Children’s Day spokesperson said: “The standard of play from all four schools taking part was excellent and the sportsmanship displayed was exceptional. Thanks to Galaxy Sports Little Kerse for hosting the event and Falkirk Foundation for providing the referees.”
