The Donegal Road Safety Working Group and Finn Harps FC team up every year to assist with the promotion of road safety with the Primary School Road Safety Art Competition.
It invited young artists from all oveer the county's primary schools, to create a piece of art that will raise awareness of how to stay safe on the roads.
The theme of the competition this year is Safe Roads for All – everyone’s life matters on our roads.
Lydia's winning drawing will be displayed at Finn Park for the 2023 season and at Kernan’s Supermarkets.
She also collected a massive hamper for herself and a training session with Finn Harps for the whole school. How exciting. Well done Lydia!
