SIX talented school children have brushed off the competition from 500 entries to become winners in an art competition sponsored by Finn Harps FC and Donegal Road Safety.
The category winners in the competition, that was open to all primary schools in the county, were: Kayla McDermott, Scoil Íosagáin, Buncrana; Carla McDermott, Scoil Naomh Fiachra, Illistrin; Shane McCaul, Clonmany N.S; Carley Sweeney, St Bernadette’s School, Letterkenny; Mikaela McConnon, Scoil an Linbh Íosa, Donegal Town and Niamh Ni Chleirigh, Scoil Gaelscoil Adhamhnáin, Leitir Ceanainn.
Kayla, Carla, Shane, Carley, Mikaela and Niamh are now off to Finn Park where the overall winner will be unveiled at half time during the Finn Harps v Shamrock Rovers match this Friday, May 2.
The winning piece will feature as an advertising hoarding at Finn Park promoting road safety for the current season.
Donegal Mayor Cllr Ian McGarvey praised all the schools for "getting behind the initiative".
"We had over 500 entries and it is fantastic to see our schools involved in promoting road safety with our young people. Do make our roads safe by looking out for each other, drive safely and let’s make our contribution.” John Campbell of Finn Harps added: “Harps are delighted to have the group winners as their guests at the Shamrock Rovers match.
"We also look forward to unveiling the overall winner on the night. As in other years the winning overall entry will be on display at Finn Park for the coming season as an 8ft x 4ft display.”
