Inter School Sports
From Mr Burnett: Saturday saw Dochgarroch and Teanassie pupils compete in the small schools section of Inter-school sports at the Bucht. They were up against Daviot and Balnain. We had a number of outright wins including the relay, new records set (un-officially at the moment) and overall a great team effort. Many thanks to Mr
Golder for the coaching and Mrs Mack for co-ordinating the entry.
