Another great days crack on the hill today, the weather played ball and we were spared the rain and by some miricale Dennis's farts
the only wind we got was SW/S 5-12mph.. With Dennis coming over we decided to have a 2 lead event 150g and 125g for an agg score. Top spot went to Andrew Gormley (well done
) and with many close battles going on it really made for a hard fought day.. Big thank you to Dennis and Martin for making the long trip to cast with us also to everyone for helping set up and pack away the court and making it a weekend to remember.
Results in meters:
A.Gormley-483.77
P.Cunningham-447.31
D.Retter-413.42
M.Cambell-412.20
S.Horan-385.66
S.O'Dea-380
B.Cleary-364.20
L.Gallagher-DNR 150g/125g-201.81
C.Grace-DNR
