Countryside Alliance Ireland - love the countryside

                                        “CAI 2007 Clay Pigeon Championship Final” 

Courtlough Shooting Grounds was the place to be on Sunday the 27th May 2007 as they kindly hosted the first Countryside Alliance Ireland Clay Pigeon Final. Teams from all over Ireland, including Ballinaclough Gun Club, Guinness Gun Club, Naul Clay Pigeon Club, Duleek Gun Club, PVC Gun Club , C/L Gun Club and Lusk Pheasant Gun Club held qualifying heats over the past few months with winners of those heats taking their place at the final shoot out at Courtlough.

The final took place over a 50 bird sporting layout that included the High Tower. As the wind was quite strong on the day the birds were challenging with all participants obtaining excellent scores. The overall winner on the day with a score of 45 was Peter Meade from C/L Gun Club, second was Francis Knott of Lusk Pheasant Gun Club with a score of 42. Third and the final place went to Bernard Kane of the PVC Gun Club with a score of 39. The prizes were presented by Liam Flynn of Courtlough Shooting Grounds.  

Winner: Liam Flynn and Peter Meade, Second: Liam Flynn and Francis Knott. Third: Liam Flynn and Bernard Kane

The setting for the competition was excellent and Countryside Alliance Ireland would like to thank Liam Flynn and Gerry for setting the layout that made this a special occasion. We also wish to convey our special thanks to all those who took part over the past six months and we hope to see you at next years final.
