Congratulations to Siobhan Scarlett of Dublin University Rifle Club (DURC) who won the Dave Cullen Memorial Shoot after a very close and interesting final. Siobhan scored a 247.2 to take the gold medal with a 0.4 point margin from Ray Kane of the Defence Force Shooting Team (DFST) who scored a 246.8. Sean Baldwin (DFST) claimed Bronze medal with a 224.9.

Not only did Siobhan win the gold but she was also presented with the Dave Cullen Memorial trophy. It was very special that Eileen Cullen presented the trophy and that other members of the Cullen family including Anne-Marie, Pat and Padraig presented the other prizes on the day. Unfortunately, Dave's son Seamus was in the USA and was unable to attend this year.

It was a great occasion in memory of a great man.

Founding member and Chairman of the club since 1964 until 2015, Dave was instrumental in building the range in Rathdrum, from organising the finance through to helping with the building work and seeing it through to completion. To say he was tireless in his efforts for the club is a gross understatement, because in every respect Dave was synonymous with the club and everything it stands for.
