Well done to all of the athletes who participated in the Galway Primary Schools Cross Country Championships today in Renmore. Bar a few drops of rain at the very end, the day went very smoothly and hopefully everyone enjoyed the occasion. A massive thank you to the volunteer officials from the Galway athletic clubs who gave up their time to organise and officiate at the event. It was the easiest year yet to run this event - wholly down to having plenty of help on the day.

Provisional results of today's races are at 14GYPrimarySchoolsXC_FinalsResults.pdf. Please let me know if any questions or issues.

The top 15 individuals and top 3 teams now go forward to the Connacht finals which will be held at 1pm on Saturday 18th October in the grounds of Summerhill College in Sligo. If anyone is not travelling or if you wish to replace an athlete on a team, please let me (Michael Tobin, This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) know asap - if possible by Wednesday 8th October as I plan to send off the entries then to the Connacht secretary. 

Please arrive early to get your numbers and get familiar with the course. You will be collecting your number from the Connacht organisers rather than from me. The Connacht finals will be held in the following order:- 

• 3rd /4th Class Girls 800m
• 3rd/4th Class Boys 800m
• 5th/ 6th Class Girls 1000m
• 5th/6th Class Boys 1000m
