Winning team hailed by MSP

EDINBURGH South SNP MSP Jim Eadie has tabled a motion in the Scottish Parliament congratulating Scotland’s under-16 women’s national basketball team on winning the bronze medal at the Fiba European Basketball Championships in Gibraltar.

He hailed it as “a significant achievement” for the team since while they were training for the event the players took part in fund-raising opportunities for various groups and were studying for their Standard Grades.
