Country schools’ sports
After previously being postponed, the weather threatened, once again, to put a dampener on Kintyre’s rural schools’ sports day, but to no avail. The rain held off as children from across the area raced to Drumlemble Primary School last Friday for a morning of athletics. Competitions included running, skipping, sack, three-legged, bean bag and egg-and-spoon races. The competitive P6 and P7 boys’ and girls’ marathons proved ever popular and it was no surprise that the two names which dominated the senior prize lists triumphed: Solana McMurchy from Drumlemble and Rhunahaorine’s Lewis Gilchrist, who missed it by a nose last year. Some children were so excited by placing that they forgot to go to the scorers’ table, so there are some P3-5 results missing.
