Finn Valley A.C. hosted two successful days of cross-country at their sports centre in Stranorlar this week with some 1400 young athletes in attendance from local primary/post-primary schools. It provided an excellent opportunity to sample the sport and again the local experienced organisation was excellent. Many schools that had not previously been involved attended and it augurs well for the future. The cross-country season is now in full swing at all levels. Finally a thank you from race director, Patsy McGonagle, to all the officials that were on duty over the two days.
