In-form McCormack turns on the power

ALAN McCORMACK gave another sensational performance in yesterday’s Woodies DIY national inter-counties cross-country championships at Tramore Racecourse when leading Dublin to the team honours.

Winner of the Dublin Championship, it was a first national title for the 24 year old UCD student whose previous best in this race was 10th last year, although as a junior he was runner up to Mark Christie from Mullingar.

This time Christie, who added this title to his CV in 2006 and finished second last year, could only watch from behind as McCormack dominated the second half of the race.
