Schools Cross Country( Secondary) Challenge at Finn Valley A.C.


September 29th


This event attracted some 300 plus secondary school students from Donegal and West Tyrone, again it proved a successful venture and gave an opportunity to many to sample the sport for the first time ever. The obvious decline in children’s general fitness becomes more evident each year. The organisers are most appreciative of the coaches from the 24 schools who attended.
