Well done to all our coaches, they did fantastic work preparing our team over the last few weeks. Huge thanks to all parents who supported us in Cork and helped with transporting our team. Thank you to our supervising staff in MTU Cork on the day too. It was a real team effort all round.

But the real stars of the show were our Atlethics Team. All of them were simply amazing!!

We look forward to the Clonakilty Parish Schools Atlethics Day on Thursday June 12th. Knockskeagh Abú!
