European Championships (Lisburn) - 3rd

The band now has a total of 13 championship points and is placed 2nd in the 2008 Champion of Champion tables for the grade.
“The result is amazing and the members have really raised the bar again”, Pipe Major Ian Morris.
With three of the major contests down and only two more to go, the Royal Burgh of Stirling Pipe Band will be working hard to keep the momentum going.

Further great news was the the drummers were placed 5th!
