Results 26/4/15 - 150g Day

#1 Post by paddyc »

A weird day on the hill yesterday with not only cyclonic N/NE/SW winds of 5-10k that at times turned 180 by late afternoon, with the wind the way it was we were casting slightly uphill. A mild start with clear skies turning cold with a spit of rain later on. None the less a great days crack all round, with special guest Danny Stark (AKA Iron Man),,, see pic's that will follow shortly for this one.. :lol: :lol: Top spot went to Andrew Gormley and considering the tough conditions he still nailed a few big ones.. Also great to have Martin from the UCC down again..

Distances in Meters:
150g-

A.Gormley-230
J.Henry-217.20
F.Folan-215-(OTG)
T.Donovan-211.91

Tough going up on the hill with that wind having bipolar disorder! It didnt dampen the spirits though and the craic was 90 again

Well done to Andrew on the win and to Paddy for another tight battle. Great to meet Martin from from UCC!
Lookinh forward to the next day already and hopefully pulling an all nighter up the hill!
