Well done to all our swimmers that competed in this evening’s Scottish Swimming schools trials at the Vale of Leven pool. You were a credit to Dumbarton Academy as always. #ambition

Fantastic to see some of our young people at the Netball Leaders Award course set up by Active Schools West Dunbartonshire . Thank you for providing this opportunity to further develop their skills and leadership.

Congratulations to our U16s football team who progressed to the quarter finals of the RS McColl cup with a victory against the Glasgow Gaelic school. A double from Barbour, as well as goals from C. MacDonald and an OG saw the side through. 👏🏻

In an incredible match, the U13s came back from 6-2 down away Hermitage Academy Football to win 8-6 (eight-six), yes you read the correct. The outstanding Marshall notched 4 with the remaining goals scored by Carmichael, Robertson, Filshie and an Own Goal. Glasgow Schools' FA classic match. 👏🏻👏🏻

Tonight our U14s exited the Glasgow Schools' FA Crookston cup with a home defeat to an impressive VoLA PE & Dance. Despite the beginning of Storm Darragh, both teams battled right through difficult conditions. Special mention to the Dumbarton Academy referee team of Paul, Callum and Kyle.👏🏻

Last Tuesday the Dumbarton Academy Girls U14s had an enjoyable day out at the Amy McDonald Cup which took place at Toryglen. The side had wins against Rosshall and Govan with losses against Glasgow Gaelic, Holyrood and Hermitage. Well done to everyone involved. 👏🏻👏🏻

From everyone in the PE Department at Dumbarton Academy - Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you have a peaceful time with the loved ones around you. See you all in 2025. ❤️

This week our U14 footballers braved the cold. As our own pitch was frozen, they travelled to OLSP to fulfil the fixture. A. Gilmour opened the scoring giving us a HT lead but OLSP Football proved too strong in the 2nd half. Well done to SQA referee Ben, who had a fine game. 👏🏻

On Thursday last week, our U16s travelled to HermitageAcadPE to play our third Glasgow Schools' FA league match. After a tough battle, the side came away with the points after a 2-1 win. Goals from Foy and Barbour earned the win.

After tonight’s result, our Under 16s football team will now travel to Bishopbriggs Acad PE in the next round of the Scottish Schools' Football Association shield. The date will be confirmed as soon as possible but will not take place tomorrow!

Last night our U16s were calm before the storm with a fantastic performance to edge past Bishopbriggs in the Cup with some impressive goals and some great saves by Ahmed to earn a well deserved clean sheet. McFarlane (vid 1) Graham (x2 - Vid 2) and Foy with the goals.
