Wow!  What a weekend!  Am I wrecked or what?  The Nationals of course!  Two days of emotion, tension, excitement, joy and despair all rolled into one great shooting fest!  And what can I say about the results?  I think our club did very well thank you.  Congratulations to Shane and Jim in Men's air rifle.  Congratulations to Susan, Liz and Tara in Ladies air rifle and congratulations to Susan, Laura and Tara in the Juniors!

Our pistol shooters Tim, Mark and Donal were a bit off form but still acquitted themselves with honour on the day!

We are especially proud of Colm who despite a major technical disaster at the start of the final, held his nerve and shot well (albeit without sights in effect).

Tara shot very well in the Ladies final and managed to pass out Laura and take the bronze medal.

The match was very well attended and it ran extra smoothly.  We submitted a challenge to one of Liz's scores but the complaint was not up held.

The pistol match and final were very close and the scoring is getting better.  Congratulations to Peter Friend who won the gold and to Joe and John.

From my perfectionist' point of view, our preparation for this match was a bit ropey.  Nevertheless, now is the time to focus on the next big event.  We plan to take a team over to the Welsh National's in Oct next.  So let's get down to it and start training.

Congratulations and well done again to all our members who took part.
