On Thursday the November 13, St. Ailbe's students travelled to Thurles Crokes for the annual County Cross Country Championship. 40 students took part on the day.

A fantastic day for our school athletes, who brought home an incredible 10 medals overall.

Despite the torrential rain the day before, conditions were nonetheless very good.

Huge congratulations to Doireann Moloney who had an outstanding performance in her debut race for St. Ailbe's securing silver in the minor girls.

A brilliant achievement and a sign of great things to come. Continuing the family success in the junior girls race, Neasa Moloney stormed to victory and claimed Gold.

An exceptional run and a well deserved podium position. The Senior boys finished off the day in style with a great display of teamwork and determination, and battled hard to bring home both the Silver and Bronze team medals.

Well done to all our runners across all categories who represented St. Ailbe's with such dedication and heart. Many thanks to all in Tipperary Athletics and Thurles Crokes AC for organising and providing such an excellent event and venue.
