We had a huge turnout at the annual Parkside schools cross country today in the Bogies. The weather could have been kinder but the children didnt seem to notice. A few hours off school is always good!First trophy winners of the day for Celtic were Shona Gogarty (MHOC) and Lily Farrell (D7ET) who battled it out for first and second in the under 10 girls race. In the under 11 girls race Aoife Corocran (Scoil Bhride Blanchardstown)came 4th with Niamh O Connor (MHOC) just behind in 5th place. Finn Mc Auley (D7ET) ran a great race finishing 6th in the boys under 11. In the girls under 12 race Keelin Collins (D7ET) had a very impressive win with Emily Harrold (MHOC) in 6th place. James Mc Manus (St John Bosco) was a fine winner of the boys under 12 race. In the girls under 13 race Antonia Shodiya (MHOC)led her sister Antoinette for a fine 1, 2 with Kacey Tully (St Catherines) close behind in 4th place and Alex Corr (MHOC) in 6th place.
In the final girls race Aoibh Collins (D7ET) was as impressive as her sister Keelin with a runaway win in her race with Kate Harrold (MHOC) equally impressive in 2nd place. It was brilliant to see all our young athletes doing so well and it shows that regular, consistant training makes such a difference to their fitness. Well done to all who competed and a big thank you to all the parents and friends who helped make the day a success.
