EILIDH AND ALYSON GET THEIR FIRST FULL INTERNATIONAL CAPS

Congratulations go to Renfrewshire's Megan Briggs who again has been capped for Scotland for the Home Internationals in September. Also to be congratulated are Eilidh and Alyson who have been picked for the 1st time and gain their full International Caps.
Fantastic News and wonderful to have 3 Renfrewshire County Players representing Scotland at the same time and 2 sisters !!
The last sisters to play in the same Scotland team were Fiona and Mhairi McKay in 1993 and 1994. Fiona McKay, married name Norris, will captain the Scotland team at Hillside.
The only other sisters in the past 30 years to play in the same Scotland line-up were Suzanne and Gladys Cadden in 1974 and 1975.
