Beating tough competition, Broadbridge Primary School, Eglinton claimed gold for the girls’ team at the final. To recognise their outstanding performance, pupils enjoyed an exclusive training session led by Athletics NI.

“It’s been incredible to watch their progress and passion for athletics grow, and I look forward to seeing where their hard work takes them in the future.
“No matter the age, proper nutrition plays a crucial role in athletic performance, and having Flahavan’s as the league sponsor once again has been fantastic.
“Their support has been fantastic in helping educate young athletes on the importance how to eat healthily and properly for strength and endurance, which is just as important as training itself.”
