Deputy Mayor of Derry Alderman Gary Middleton presenting certificates to local school children who took part in a fun cross country challenge organised by Derry City Council Schools and Participation programme in association with the PE Department at Thornhill College.
Over 200 participants from 14 schools throughout the Council district took place in gthe event held in the grounds of Thornhill College.
The event provided the participants with the opportunity to visit the school and take part in an event that has a long standing tradition within the school.
Past pupils of the primary schools who now attend Thornhill were paired up with their local primary schools to provide guidance and leadership on the day.
It is hoped a number of these young leaders will take part in a planned training programme to obtain their Sports Leaders Award and gain recognition for provdining leadership at these types of events.
