We had waited a long time for Wednesday, September 28th. COVID 19 had robbed us of several opportunities to get out on the cross country course but at last we got the chance to stretch the legs again.
A 47 strong squad of young runners made up four teams to compete for County honours.
Our 3rd/4th Class Girls' team kicked off proceedings in style by finishing 2nd in their group and securing a silver medal for their four top finishers, who were: Amy Burns (5th), Rachel Tye (7th), Irish Corcoran (12th) and Ciara Boylan (17th)
The 3rd/4th Class Boys' team finished 6th in their group. Our four highest placed finishers on the day were: Cody Hanlon (13th), Eamonn Quigley (20th), Harry Carroll (40th) and Tommy Butler (41st).
The 5th/6th Class Girls' team took the gold in their race. The four highest placed finishers were: Sarah Tye (1st), Orla McAree (10th), Orla Boylan (12th) and Dawn Darcy (17th).
Our last team to race was the 5th/6th Class Boys who came in 4th. The four fastest were: JJ Harding (7th), Tito Hehir (20th), Kean Burke (21st) and Nathan Rice (27th).
Well done to all who competed.
