The first day of this two day event was a Field Day which saw  competitors from the school participate in 600m, Long Jump, Shot Putt & Hurdles at various age levels.

All the pupils who competed put their hearts and souls into their respective competitions and three of them came away with medals.  They were, Yena Ní Fhéich who came 2nd in the under 14 shot putt,    Oilibhéar Ticher who came 1st in the under 12 long jump competition and Breandán Mac Cionnaith who came 3rd in the 600m race.

Oran Ó Braonáin,  Aoife Ní Néill,  Conal Ó Riain and Ellie Nic Dhomhnaill all reached their respective hurdles finals and were pipped at the post to come 4th.

The Track day will take place on  Monday next the 29th of May and this will consist of individual sprints and relay races. We wish the pupils (over 40 of them) who will be competing for the school on that day the very best of luck.
