BY PATSY McGONAGLE: In 1970 at the first ever County cross country senior champs held at Holy Cross College , Falcarragh Neil Mc Daid won leading his club Cranford to victory while Lily Quinn, Lifford, did a similar job for her club in the women’s event and one wondered what lay in store for the 2011 version at Finn Valley Sunday morning.
It soon became evident shortly after 11-30 Sunday that Teresa Mc Gloin was going to retain her women’s title making it a lifetime total of 4 titles – an excellent record.
Teresa led Valley to yet another team victory with Angela Speight, Noeleen Porter a former individual winner and Catherine Brogan the winning quartet.
