Grants win GB Honor's Grant was selected at the beginning of the month to go along to the Scottish Development trials and was selected for the team ,in fact he shone so much he was selected for the Great Britain team and went down to Newcastle's Gateshead stadium to take part in the European flag finals. Young Grant who is only 11 has been playing flag football for just 3 seasons .He took the game up after watching his brothers William and Mark playing and followed in their steps by being selected for the Holland game. They got a credible draw with Holland even although young Grant said they were all huge compared to him . They then played the French and beat them to win the section and meet the Germans in the semi finals. Again with a resounding victory they met the Holland team in the finals but alas even although young Grant got some play time he couldn't get a score and the Dutch ran out worthy winners. Grants coaches William and Alan both said that it will stand Grant in good stead to have played and the experience will give him a head start for next year. Grant who plays receiver and running back thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and would like to thank all the GB coaches for the opportunity given to him . He also stated that the boys were all very friendly and although it was a competition he will have made some friends for life. Grants younger brother Arron who had no interest in the game was so impressed with his big brother Grant that he has now joined the Clyde Valley Cadet team as well . Coach Winter would
like to invite anyone along to the Cadet Junior or Youth flag teams where
they will be made welcome.Contact 01698 386039 |
