After finishing third last year, Oisin Spillane of Mercy Mount Hawk, Tralee, proved to be the strongest over a testing 6000m course at the Irish Life Health/Munster Schools Cross-Country.

While the majority of students across the country finished up their exams last week, this afternoon will see the official end of the 2019 Leaving Certificate exams.

The Aviva All-Ireland schools championships could produce one of the most exciting 800m races in the history of the event at Tullamore today.

PATRICK MAHER (Davis College, Mallow) will compete in both the 400m and 400m Hurdles at the Munster schools championships in a week’s time after a one lap cruise at the second session of the South Munsters at the CIT Track in Bishopstown yesterday.

ACCOUNTING was the flavour of the afternoon for the Leaving Cert and presented more than a few posers for the higher level students, especially those in all-Irish schools.
