There was the usual huge turnout for the Primary Schools Cross Country Championships on Friday 17th September. Hosted annually by Bandon AC, the event is open to all primary schools in the Bandon catchment area. Participating schools this year were Crossmahon NS, Lauragh NS, Scoil Padraig Naofa, Presentation Girls Primary School, Bandon Bridge, Kilcolman NS, Gael Scoil and finally Castlelack NS who competed for the first time this year.<\/p>\n

The event was once again held in the Bandon Rugby Club and conditions on the day were perfect. Medals were presented to the first twelve finishers in each race, however for this report only the first three will be listed. For Schools races, the race categories are year of birth. Sincere thanks to all of the schools who sent teams. It was a fitting testament to the athletic talent in evidence on the day, that every school brought back a number of medals.
