    Sounded good. We won the womens, vets presumably, team prize. A few strong runners in there but talkin last week sounded like the top individuals too strong.

    We'd a strong O50s mens team. Don't see any mention of that though.

    Course length was a joke. The supposed 1500m lap was only 1100m or so. Men's Intermediate race was only 7.5k when it was supposed to be 10k. How can something be gotten so wrong?

    Then you had officials at the beginning of each lap calling conflicting numbers of laps remaining. After the first lap two guys were calling 7 laps to go, others calling 6 laps. Same thing happened the next time round except with 6 and 5. Very hard to race when you don't know how long you have to run for! Simply not good enough.

    Think you will find that it was Ciarian Doherty from Letterkenny was 2nd with Pauric Mc Kinney 4th. Letterkenny retain their title from last year, I think that makes it 11 years in a row that teams from Donegal have won the club title: Finn Valley for 9 years and Letterkenny the last 2.

    Havent seen the official results yet thought so could be mistaken
