Clovenfords super sisters Ella Mundell and Lili Mundell making their mark in different sports

Ella recently represented Scotland at an 8 Nations hockey tournament in Granada, Spain, drawing against Ireland and also playing well in defeats to Germany, Spain, and England in a positive overall experience.

Meanwhile, having achieved a 50m freestyle junior (16 and under) win and a 13-year-old East-District age-group record at the Glasgow Open meet on July 2, sister Lili won golds in the 13 years 200m IM, 200m freestyle and 100m freestyle, plus silver in the 100m backstroke and bronze in the 100m breaststroke, at the Scottish Summer Meet in Aberdeen Aquatics Centre from July 14 to 16.

Ella, who will go to Philadelphia with The Mary Erskine School on a hockey tour from August 8 and play next season with Fjordhus Reivers in National League 1, said: “I really enjoyed the hockey challenges in Spain, we drew a hard pool but improved as the tournament progressed.“I am looking forward to playing hockey in America, I haven’t travelled there before.

"A few of my friends are heading across on hockey scholarships next year. It’ll be interesting to see the level of school hockey being played.”

And Lili added: “This swimmimg season has gone well and I’m pleased with the progress I’ve made, but I still have much to learn.

"Next year, I’d like to aim for the British Championships at the end of July. Hopefully, if I train hard enough, my improved times might get me there.”
