Local schools compete in Cooley Credit Union Races

The rain held off in the Cooley Peninsula on Thursday last for the welcome return of the Cooley Credit Union Races. 

It was all to play for in the battle to win the Liam Clifford Shield (awarded to smaller schools) and the Jim Savage Cup (awarded to bigger schools).

Twelve primary schools in the peninsula - from Faughart to Omeath were represented, with hundreds of primary school children taking part across sprints, distance races, turbo javelin, long jump and relays.

Not forgetting the younger junior and senior infant children, as well as the pre-school children - there was something for everyone.

Glenmore AC would once again like to thank Cooley Credit Union for its continued sponsorship of this event. Also, a special word of thanks to the Carlingford-Omeath branch of the Red Cross who were on hand to help out.

Well done to all the winners on the evening especially to Mullaghbuoy N.S. on winning the Liam Clifford Shield and to Monksland N.S. on winning the Jim Savage Cup.
