    A number of keen Wicklow shooters triumphed recently as part of the Irish team which took silver in the Phoenix International shooting competition in Bisley, England.

    The team celebrated reaching its highest level ever in the Under Lever Gallery rifle section and were only narrowly beaten by the host team.

    The squad of eight shooters has a strong Wicklow representation with Mike Doherty and Declan Byrne from Arklow and Roy Mitchell from Ashford.

    Doherty also took the overall second place in the Speed Steels', Silver standard in Silhouette', Bronze standard in 1500 Gallery Rifle', Timed and Precision' and Multi Target' while Byrne also picked up a Bronze Standard for Silhouette' and Timed and Precision'.

    The duo have been performing very well lately and most recently were placed highly at a contest in Germany as part of the Irish team.

    Each team member shoots regularly as part of the East Coast Sport Shooting Club which was established in 2005 to give local sport and target shooting enthusiasts an opportunity to train and enhance their skills in a safe and secure environment.

    While still a very small club, it has a Garda Authorised range with members enjoying great success at local, national and international level.
