Cross Country Runners through to the All Ireland Championships
Following great success at the West Leinster Championships, where our girls won 3 out of 4 team gold medals along with a bronze, all four teams travelled to the Leinster Championships in Santry on the 8th February, representing all ages and years of the school.
The cold blustery conditions didn’t deter the girls from giving it their all and despite some very good individual performances from our novice 1st and 2nd years, the minor and junior teams had to be satisfied with 11th and 5th team placings, respectively.
Our Intermediate and Senior teams though, kept their focus and lined up determined.
With the promise of a trip to Galway, if in the top three teams, and a cup of hot chocolate at the finish, at stake, the gun went.
The pink vests of Mount Sackville’s Intermediate and Senior cross country teams stood out again bringing home team gold and bronze, respectively, and their place in the All-Ireland Final in Galway.
The hot chocolate tasted extra chocolatey that afternoon.
Our intermediate and senior teams travel to Galway to compete in the All Ireland Championships on the 10th of March, representing Mount Sackville and Leinster.
We wish both teams the best of luck and all support is welcome.
Our teams members are:
