McGrady Financial Services Junior X/C Series
ROUND 5 of this increasingly popular series took place in the recently watered surroundings of Donard Park on Sunday afternoon, beneath a sun which was actually warm, and produced another enthralling hour’s competition to the delight of participants, families and friends writes Joe Quinn.
The person who had the brainwave to run both boys and girls together in their age groups deserves a special commendation if he/she can be identified and the fact that this meant the programme of races was over before coverage of the Ireland vs France Rugby International began was, I’m sure, purely coincidental but ultimately a painful experience which would have been better avoided.

SDLP Leader and South Down MP Margaret Ritchie has re-iterated her call to the British Government not to close the Northern Ireland Coastguard Centre in Bangor.
Speaking following a cross-party visit to the coastguard station in Bangor, Ms Ritchie said,xa0“NI Coastguard Centre is the only station in the North to co-ordinate rescue operations both inland and on waterways in our region. If it were to close, the amount of essential assistance given by the coastguard would be greatly diminished and lives would be put at risk.
