Mayo school sports day a huge success

THE boys at St. Patrick’s Boys NS, Castlebar, recently took part in their annual sports day.

Pupils from junior infants all the way up to sixth class took part in a host of events: sprinting, penalty shootouts, skipping races, potato and spoon races, sack races, an obstacle course, welly throwing and some fun on the bouncy castles. The focus of sports day is fun and participation, and judging by the photos this aim was achieved!

This year’s sports day was held on the new pitch within the school grounds. The new pitch, complete with running track, is a fantastic facility for students to enjoy, and the fine weather this year has made it all the more enjoyable.

Included are a selection of photographs from a great day of fun.
