3 Scottish Cup Netball Scotland would firstly like to thank you for entering the Scottish Cup Competition. You may not know it just yet, but there has never been a more exciting time for you and your club to be involved in Scottish netball. Not only should our younger girls be aspiring to follow in the footsteps of our very own Scottish Thistles (as they work tirelessly to climb the world rankings ladder) but should also be looking to our recently selected Under 21 National team for inspiration. The Under 21 squad will take to court in the summer of 2013 here on home soil, competing in the 2013 World Youth Championships being hosted in Glasgow. What a fantastic warm up for all of our netball fans out there to prepare themselves for the Commonwealth Games in 2014!! I am sure you will agree, it is all go and we love it. Not only are the next few years going to provide fantastic opportunities for our netballing stars, but also for our Coaches, Umpires, Match Officials, Volunteers and of course, our outstanding supporters. It is imperative that we, as Scottish netball enthusiasts, engage as many of the other netball fanatics out there, and work together to make the most of the upcoming opportunities to really cement Scotland s position on the netball map. Here at Netball Scotland we very much look forward to following your progress over the coming months as the Scottish Cup progresses. We also look forward to ending the season on another high as we did following last year s hugely successful National Finals Day. Best of luck to all teams in your upcoming matches. As ever, should there be any issues with the draw below or any problems with placing fixtures into your oh so busy diaries, please do not hesitate to give me a call on or I can always be reached via on membership@netballscotland.com Kindest regards, Gillian Stewart (Netball Scotland - Membership and Competitions Development Officer) 3
