Overall ICD students enjoyed a successful day out and they can look forward with confidence to upcoming races in Armagh and Belfast.

Praising the students Mr Rice, Head of PE said, 'Over the years ICD has maintained a strong team of cross country runners. These students practice regularly attending after schools clubs and their commitment has paid off for them at the recent events. I'd like to congratulate all the students who participated and believe they can look forward to more success in the near future.'
