SCI Results 17-4-11

#1 Post by paddyc »

A cracking days weather with conditions ranging from hot, hot and even hotter,,
resulting in many sore forehads and leaving us all looking like a bunch of "Ribena berrys" :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Wind was 5-8mph E/SE/NE, constant swirling that at times sent all the court flags in diff directions at the same time!!
but with one court change about midday we tried to make the most of what little wind there was, but none the less some PB's were put down..

Results in Meters:
PB,s in BOLD;

Andrew Gormley------P---175g/238.85..150g/246.17..125g/244.10..100g/236.22
Paddy Cunningham---P---150g/235.22..125g/230.63
Marty Harrison-------P---150g/233.34..125g/232.40
Cracko--------------P---150g/230.75..125g/227.72
Austin Artt----------P---150g/211.13
Lee Gallagher--------P---150g/208.88
Gearoid McS-------OTG--150g/207.88..125g/201.82
Shane O Dea--------P---125g/203.08
Brendan Cleary------P---NCR

Again thank you to everyone who helped set up and pack down the court, and help with the crack off hunt, its much apriciated..

great to see a few pbs in those conditions 8) high pressure and high humidity saw the line hang in the air for an age before it hit the ground :shock: far from pb conditions :shock:

That was taken during my 80's glam rock phase...

My biggest regret is that no-one got cracko's "lara croft" roll on camera..

he has the grace and elegance of a swan.

Great day again.

Weather was great for a suntan, not too good for casting tho.

Excellent distances by the top 4.

Paddy you were on top form, great casting all day. Congrats to you and Gearoid on achieving PB's in very difficult conditions.

Lee, i'm looking forward to the video, should be a couple of comedy moments.

And Paddy, you definately get "Quote of the Day".
