A fabulous summery day at Hillend even though it was an autumnal September. Some great racing from our two Boroughmuir teams at the SSSA Dual Slalom Qualifier. The A team were just pipped at the post for 1st place by the Firhill Flyers and took a very well deserved 2nd place. Boroughmuir B took 3rd place, and one race between both Boroughmuir teams was pretty riveting and also very close.

So well done racers, some great skiing and the Boroughmuir A team will go to the finals at Braehead on Thursday 26th October.
