Munster Secondary Schools Championships

The Munster Secondary schools proved very competitive once again. Well done to Liam O'Brien and all the CSOA team for their splendid organisation.
The Senior girls was one by Cliona Gallwey from Nagle Rice with Newtown filling the next three places (Nichola Fennell, Georgia Doorley and Becky Barr) to pick up the team title.
In the Senior Boys, James Griffin from Midleton CBS beat Josh O'Sullivan Hourihan from Midleton College by 7 seconds. 5 different schools were represented in the top 6 places which must be unique. MCBS held off Nagle Rice for the team title.

Provincial Primary Champs

There were some very tight finishes today in the Leinster Primary Schools
Orienteering Championships, which took place in Corkagh Park, Clondalkin,
but also some clear winners.
Emma Powderly (Scoil Cholmcille Skryne) and Courtney Williams & Anne Yague (Nun's Cross NS Ashford) tied for 1st place, both parties finishing with a time of 21mins40secs. However, Emma takes the title, 6th Class Girls champion, as only individual runners are competitive.
