Another group of 2nd Year students, Aoife Ferguson, Aisling Lynch, and Claire Linehan, won the overall award for Junior Power of Sport, Cultural, and Inclusion for their project titled ‘An Investigation into why women’s sport takes runner up place in the eyes of spectators compared to men’s sport’.
