The final of the 2009 Douglas Community School First Year Cross-Country League was held on Friday, 18 September and there were some superb performances. Two athletes ran the 5th and 6th fastest ever times on the course. Winner of the “A” race, and new First Year Champion, was Jack O’Mahony, with Jamie O’Connell a fine second and Liam Harris third. The winner of the “B” race was Darragh Nugent. All in all, the league was a great success. With over 100 athletes taking part and with over 20 athletes showing up for the first training session, all bodes well for the future of Douglas Community School athletics.
