This was a huge week for many of our NBH junior runners who succeeded in qualifying for the All-Ireland Schools Cross Country. Even though they were running for their respective schools, the background and training they have received with their club has undoubtedly helped them along the way to compete at the absolute highest level nationally. Fantastic results all round – well done everyone, you did your schools and your club proud.
