Summer season gets underway

THE summer season of shooting began at Rathfriland on Thursday May 6.

The weather was good and conditions were ideal for shooting, though it did not come into account and there was a somewhat low turnout for the beginning of the season, resulting in a total of 11 lines.

Shooting began shortly after 5pm with 20/60 scores slow to come in. In the end, four shooters did enough to make the final. These were Ronald Sloan, Geoff Dale, Neville Ferguson and Raymond Graham.

The shoot-off took place in tense fashion with the four shooters going at it. After the first line it was left to Sloan and Dale to go one-on-one for the win.

Eventually it was Geoff Dale who held his nerve to come away with the victory.

Final results were as follows: 1st, Geoff Dale; 2nd, Ronald Sloan; 3rd, Neville Ferguson.

Shooting will continue this Thursday, May 13, commencing at 5pm. Once again, all shooters are welcome.
