Our big girls were in action today at the National Intermediate cross country in a very mucky Dundalk IT today. The girls ran really well as a team with Niamh Donnelly 10th, Clare Brennan 22nd, Sinead Cronin 25th, Aislinn Moorehouse 26th and Aoife Ni Bhroin 39th. They finished 3rd team overall and this completes their cross country season for 2016. Well done girls!

Our girls were on fire at the Leinster schools qualifers last week in Avondale and ALSAA. On Wednesday in Avondale Alison Armstrong came 3rd in the senior girls race at the East Leinsters.
Friday was North Leinster day in ALSAA. First off was the minor girls team from St Dominics. Clare Murphy ran the race of her life finishing 2nd overall, Anna Petit, Sara Byrne, Cliodhna Donaghy and Gillian Murphy ran their socks off to win the team title for their school!

in the junior girls race Dora Medgyesy continued her fine form ( despite a heavy Cold) with a fine win. Her team finished 3rd with Sara Jane Darcy also on the team narrowly qualifying for the Leinsters. Good to see Ella Mae Cromie back in action for Mount Temple in the junior race with Laura May Galvin also on their team.
In the senior girls race Ellen Byrne battled all the way to 6th place and led her team of Aoife Corr, Emily Murphy, Abbey Corr and Aoife Donaghy to 2nd behind a very strong Loreto Mullingar team.

Great running from all the girls and especially great to see the Murphy girls all back running well . Keep it up, its not going to get easier!☺. Leinster up next on 10 Feb in Santry.
