Boroughmuir Blaze under-18s have made club history by becoming the first female side to win a Scottish Cup final.
The Pleasance-based outfit, coached by Bart Sengers and Eden Simpson, travelled to the Regional Performance Centre in Dundee and defeated Gladiators 91-41.
The most valuable player award went to Noura Saleh who contributed 20 points from eight rebounds and three assists.
In the lead up to the final Blaze defeated Sony Centre Fury, 59 – 88 then West Lothian Wolves, 73-63.
Hopes of a Blaze club double were, however, crushed when the men’s side lost out to Dunermline Reign in their final.
The winning squad was: Cioamhe Stupart, Clara Dick, Emma Harbisher, Abbi Dolton, Eva Holburn-White, Noura Saleh, Abby Harbisher, Aimie Gaye, Libby Harrison, Roma Millar, Amy Cosgrove and Fleur Gamal.
