On Saturday, 12th March, athletes from across Ireland gathered in Ballybrit, Co. Galway, for the All-Ireland Post-Primary Schools Cross Country Championships. The competition was fierce, with top runners battling it out on a challenging course.
The course itself presented a true test of endurance, with soft, muddy patches, and hills, making the running conditions extremely tough in parts.
The Minor Girls race was fast-paced from the start, with a highly competitive field pushing the limits of speed and stamina.
A huge congratulations to Neasa Moloney, who put in a fantastic performance, finishing 31st overall and securing an impressive 4th place in Munster. Competing at an All-Ireland level is a remarkable achievement, and the school is incredibly proud of Neasa’s determination, effort, and achievement on the national stage.
Well done also to St. Ailbe’s Hannah O’Connor, who achieved third place at a recent All Ireland Schools’ Equestrian event.
