Cycling Champs



It was a fresh Friday morning in the month of September.The 4 lucky 6th class students were looking forward to missing tests and a day off school.They were
heading for Tuam to compete in the Galway County Council cycling compitition.We were invited to compete after some of the students of Peterswell completed a safer cycling course held in the school.We were competing against 5 other teams from Galway.When we arrived they provided us,with bikes.There were 4 on a team which meant there were 24 of us altogether.We began with an individual competition which was weaving in and out between cones. Amy, one of the 6th class pupils here in Peterswell came 1st out of all the girls.When it came to the team competition, our team came 3rd in the heat!
At the hotel we were presented with "BEST MIXED TEAM" and Amy got a trophy for fastest girl and not far behind her was Chloe in 2nd place in the girls.Our team was Amy Caulfield,Chloe Caswell,Sinead Hegarty and John Massey.We would like to thank our mentor Allan Massey and our mascot Abbey Massey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
