Cross Country
The Cross Country trials will take place after christmas...The intermediate team is in need of a strong fourth runner. There are four places up for grabs for the east leinsters (this will mean missing a whole day of school). The team is aiming to make the all-ireland championships this year for the first time ever. This would be a great achievement...So get training!!

Congratulations to the Intermediate cross-country team which competed in the annual Clonliffe harriers race in Santry on Wednesday 12th of October. There were only three fourth years competing:
James Grogan (Captain) 17th place overall (1st Blackrock)
Patrick Brennan 43rd place overall (3rd Blackrock)
Michael Feely 67th Place overall (5th Blackrock)
There were also 3 Third Year students on the intermediate team. Although the team did not place it was a great start to the year. The race consisted of 100 of the best runners from all around Leinster so the lads did very well! Next Race is being held in BLACKROCK COLLEGE on Wednesday the 26th of October. Training on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
