Students win healthy food prize

FOOD sourced locally proved a successful recipe for a trio of Macroom students in a national healthy eating competition.

Leanne Kearney, Ailis O’Riordan and Elizabeth Cohalan, of St Mary’s Secondary School, produced a menu that tickled the taste buds of the judges in the Agri Aware-organised, Bord Bia-sponsored challenge.

The girls were yesterday declared the overall winners of the category for second- and third-year students with Gallen Community School, Co Offaly, as runners-up.
