Emma helps her team to silver

THERE was another excellent performance from Banbridge High athlete Emma Mitchell.

Competing for Ireland, she was the only athlete to put it up to the totally dominant English squad in the Inter Girls race at the SIAB Schools International Cross Country in Cornwall on Saturday.

Getting up to fifth on the final lap, Emma fought bravely but in the end could not prevent a clean sweep by the English as she placed ninth at the finish.

Thanks to Emma’s great finish the Inter Girls team took silver team medals.
