We had great success at the Limerick Cross Country Running in the Limerick Racecourse in Patrickswell yesterday.  Over a thousand children participated on the day from schools around Limerick.

Team medal winners were the U8 Girls who won Gold medals.  The team members were: Aideen Kinsella, Millie Martin, Ava Short, Pearl Crowe, Áine Mc Elligott and Maeve Gleeson. 

In the U8 Boys event we won Bronze medals.  The team members were: Cian Long, Darragh Meehan, Liam O’Brien, Killian Hartnett, Alex Drew and Páraic Landers. 

In the U10 Boys category we won Silver medals.  The team members were: Alex Woodland, Peter Ashe, Ben Ross, Ewan O’Flynn, Reuben Crowe and Cillian Kinsella. 

The Parents’ Association had provided us with our yellow singlets last year and our athletes stood out not only for their running but also for their striking singlets in the lovely Autumn sunshine yesterday.  Congratulations to all our athletes on their wonderful achievements at the Limerick Cross Country Running.
