Please note DSD will be processing ALL DSD XC League & Championship entries for 2025
Congratulations to our DSD athletes who took part in the first Dublin XC League of the season at Newbridge House last weekend – it was fantastic to see so many of our Juvenile athletes out competing on the day – for some it may have been their first XC race while others are well seasoned!
There were some fine performances from our athletes in the first XC race of the season – despite the challenging weather conditions on the day! The results for League 1 can be found below.

We would now like to invite all of our athletes join us for XC League 2 – entries are now open for League 2 in Corkagh Park on Sunday 5th October 2025 from 11am.

Points are awarded to the Top 20 athletes on the day with all athletes who finish receiving bonus in each race. The Top 6 in each Age Group receive awards based on points accumulated across the course of the Leagues (trophies for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and boxed medals for 4th, 5th, 6th).
