Received by email:

Hi Everybody,

Thank you for entering the National Air Pistol Championships this year. I wish to inform you of a change in the timetable for the event. Due to the booking levels, I have decided to drop the 10.00am detail as advertised and to bring forward the 12.00pm detail to 11.00am. This will result in a full detail at 11.00am. The final will also be brought forward.

I hope that this change will not cause too many problems and I wish you all the best in the forthcoming match.

Thank you.

The official results are on their way to the websites by now I guess, but an interesting match. Going into the finals, it was the Fermoy lads in the lead, but things changed about during the finals and so for the second year in a row, Tim Scannell takes the gold medal back home to Kerry and Joe Conroy takes the silver back to Cork; John Cashman from Fermoy takes bronze.

Bother, forgot to unlock the thread. Fixed now.
