Dunboyne Schools Cross Country

Club members representing St Dominics College were very prominent at the Dunboyne Schools races yesterday. In the minor girls race Clare Murphy had a great win with Anna Petit a battling 2nd. Sara Byrne tore down the finishing straight passing a good few runners on her way and the team finished first with great backup from Gillian Murphy.

Dora Medgyesy floated effortlessly over the deep mud and won the junior race by a huge margin with Libby Peppard finishing 2nd in a tough battle with a girl from Rathoath.

Ellen Byrne wasa very good 2nd in the Senior race with Aoife Corr a fine 3rd. Emily Murphy continues her comeback battle, finishing strongly with Aoife Donaghy helping the team to first place.

A great day for the school, well done to all the girls. Next event will be the Castleknock College races on Thursday next for first and second year girls. Great to race against different schools and see what the opposition will be like for the schools championship series which starts in January☺.
