Such has been the success of this programme that it was adopted in six other counties in 2011 and the first ever nation inter county event for primary schools was staged. Schools from Offaly took honours in all four categories in the national finals (Ballinagar National School in 3 rd & 4 th class girls, Edenderry Boys National School in 3 rd & 4 th class boys, St. Philomena‟s National School, Tullamore in 5 th & 6 th class girls and Scoil Bhride, Tullamore in 5 th & 6 th class boys). The Pauline Curley Marathon Relay for secondary school girls remained a feature of the work programme of the Sports Partnership with six schools and 240 girls declaring for the third running of this event. The Sports Partnership in conjunction with An Garda Siochana, a number of Youth Projects in the County, Golf Clubs and the VEC Youth Officer staged the inaugural Shane Lowry golf tournament. This project is a coming together of youth projects and golf clubs to afford disadvantaged young people who might never be afforded the opportunity to play golf a chance to do so. Meet and Train Groups A meet and train project was established in Cloghan for a 10 week training programme. Following the programme, St. Rynagh‟s GAA staged the first running of its 10KM road run in which 125 people participated. The group supported in Portarlington in 2010 in conjunction with our colleagues in Laois, continued to host a road run with over 300 participants.
