The Munster schools T&F championships were held in Templemore AC on Sat. 18th May. Coláiste Phobal Ros Cré were represented in style by 11 athletes. Undoubtedly the highlight of the day were the relays.

With a precise handover, Luke Marks rounded the bend in full throttle and again ensured a clean handover to Harry O’Donoghue. Harry powered down the final straight with lightning speed crossing the line in 2nd place. It was a wonderful team performance, showcasing the boys speed, skill and teamwork.
Soon afterwards, the junior boys took to the track. Christian Nolan exploded rapidly out of the blocks handing over the baton to Alex Andronic with flawless precision. Alex maintained the team’s lead as he blazed down the back straight. Again a seamless transition of the baton from Alex to Jack Walsh ensured the boys lead. Jack powered through the bend with determination, widening the gap before the final handover to Brendan Duma. Brendan surged towards the endline securing a strong finish and victory for the team. The team beamed with pride standing in the number 1 spot on the podium and deservedly so!
