Athletics
Athletics in Creagh College continues to go from strength to strength each year with large numbers of students competing in Wexford, South-Leinster and Leinster competitions. The school has seen continued success in both track and field and cross-country events both individually and in team events. The first track and field competition usually takes place at the end of September so training commences early in the academic year in preparation for this. All interested students should see Ms. Nolan or Ms. Rossiter. Training is held after school on Wednesday 3. 30 - 4. 30 and will include preparation for cross country as well as track and field events.
Athletics also provides an opportunity for students to improve their fitness and there is no pressure to compete. We encourage all students interested in getting fit to attend.
Rugby
The rugby squad started training weekly recently, with a very good uptake from the start.
Training takes place every Wednesday at 4.00pm. All the players are very committed and are looking forward to the arrival of our new college Jersies. As the players skills progress we will arrange some friendlies against other schools. Our squad will also enter the Southeast Blitz in the new year.
