Holywood’s athletes headed back to Bangor Sportsplex this afternoon to compete in the North Down Athletics Finals. A total of 15 boys and girls from across P5-P7 qualified from the heats last week to compete in the finals of each of the track and field events. It was a brilliant day for the finals and all the pupils were both nervous and excited to compete amongst the best primary school athletes across North Down.
The day was a great success with all of the boys and girls representing Holywood shining in their individual and team events in a very competitive field. All of the athletes finishing positions were recorded and points were allocated towards the schools final total to determine a winner for the overall boys and girls teams. There were 7 individual medals won from Holywood and the Girls Team placed an AMAZING 3rd overall and came away with the Davidson Cup! A massive well done to all the competitors from Holywood who should be very proud of their efforts and achievements!
