Due to short notice, there was a low turnout for this competition. The ongoing problems with the website coupled with the need to complete work on the range gave us very little time to organise entries etc. Thanks to those who still managed to turn up despite these factors. Conor McDermottroe finished first after a start that saw Liam Kinsella take the initial lead with an excellent 31.9 but Conor then took the lead and didn't relinquish it for the rest of the final. Siobhan Scarlett came second with Ciara Deevy taking third place.

We are shocked and saddened to announce the sad news of the passing of Chris Corballis today. Chris was a long time member of UCD Rifle Club along with his brother Anthony, who were both regular visitors to Rathdrum. We would like to extend our condolences to his family and friends at this terrible time.

Reposing at home; Timoole, Rathfeigh, Tara, Co. Meath from 3pm until 7pm on Thursday. Funeral Service on Friday at 2pm at St. Mary's Church of Ireland, Navan. Burial afterwards in St. Mary's Church of Ireland graveyard Kentstown. House private on Friday.

We are compiling a database of competition results in order to make it easier to search and locate results for past competitions and results generally. Currently the database goes back to 1992 and includes prone rifle competitions only.

The data is accessible from the Information menu under two headings. The Results Archive menu will allow you select a particular competition in a particular year and the Search results item will give you the full database with a search box that can be used to search for your own results or any other criteria that you are interested in. The columns are sortable by clicking on the headers. There are over 2000 records in the database.

We will continue to add data on an ongoing basis.

Having spent a great deal of time on the ongoing work to get the range up to standard for certification, it was good to be back running competitions again. Unfortunately we had some problems with the targets (which will be permanently rectified shortly) but were able to jerry-rig a solution on the day to keep things going. Unfortunately Ray Kane was particularly affected and he had to end his detail prematurely. Conor McDermottroe won the match with a start to finish lead in the final leaving Siobhan Scarlett, Stephen Murphy and Ciara Deevy to fight it out for second and third place. Siobhan eventually persevered over Ciara with some solid scores and finished second with Ciara seeing off the challenge from Stephen to finish third.

Now that the website is back after a particularly bad attack from hackers, we will be able to take bookings in the normal way again and also provide our competition calendar. So there's no excuse for missing out on the fun. The full results are below.
