So today was the second day of the West Leinster Schools Athletic competition in Santry. Even though the weather was not as good as Tuesday, we still had an enjoyable and very successful day out in Santry.
Like Tuesday, we took off to Santry on the bus at around nine o'clock. On Tuesday, we didn't get seats in the the stand but today we did. We were lucky to get these seats because at stages throughout the day there were a few light showers of rain.
The day started well, continued well and finished well. Nearly every girl that competed got points for the school and there were plenty of individual medals to be had as well. Our school, for the second year, won the overall best girls school trophy. We also won the overall minor and junior cups. We got second in the senior category. We were all delighted with these fantastic achievements.
We weren't able to stay in the complex to receive our trophies because quite a lot of us had to get a vaccination back in the school at three o'clock.
One of the p.e teachers had driven to Santry so he was able to wait and collect the trophies.
As you've probably guessed it was a great day of success, excitement and enjoyment. Thank you very much to our p.e teachers who put in so much time and effort for this great event.
Here's to claiming the trophy, and more, again next year! ;)
Niamh! :D
