Margaret's double act

In only their third year of competition, Queen Margaret's won both junior and intermediate girls team events.

The competition involves a maximum of 12 girls competing in up to 26 events, but no girl can enter more than two events. Each event is measured on points which are accumulated over the day.

The intermediate team amassed 297 points which was only 20 points short of last year's national finalists.
