April 21 – Outstanding Performance by Douglas Community School at ISF World Schools Cross Country championsips

Douglas Community School Boys (all members of Togher AC) produced an outstanding display today to finish an impressive 5th in the ISF World Schools Cross Country Championships in Liptovsky Mikulas, Slovakia.  The boys event was won by Turkey followed by Australia in 2nd and New Zealand 3rd with the Douglas CS boys representing Ireland a mere 4 points behind the 4th placed British team.  This was an outstanding achievement in a field consisting of 21 teams from all over the world.  Top Irish finisher was Patrick Coleman in 9th followed by his teammates Cullen Lynch (21st), Ian Tobin (22nd), Mark Seacy (36th), Andrew O’Keeffe (61st) and Jamie Sullivan (77th).

 

It is all the more remarkable as the team led by coach Steven Macklin and head of delegation Mark Dineen got the boys to the venue after a marathon 13 hour ferry trip and 2,250km of driving across France and Germany when their flights were cancelled as a result of the Icelandic Volcano incident.  Heartiest congratulations to the team and best wishes for a safe trip home.

January 29 – GOAL Mile Saturday 30th 2-4pm CIT Track

Everybody is aware of the recent disaster in Haiti, which has caused so much harm to this impoverished nation.  A fundraising mile run/jog/walk will be held in the CIT Track on Saturday next (January 30th) to raise funds for the GOAL charity.  The event will be the same as the Christmas Goal Mile.  The event is being fully supported by the Athletics Community in Cork and the Track is being made available by the Cork Institute of Technology free of charge.  There will be no overheads so every cent raised will go straight to the Goal Charity. 

There is no minimum or maximum donation.  The event is open to all ages and abilities.  Clubs are asked to publicise this event so that this fundraising venture will be very successful.
