Scores were very tight at the top end with four competitors separated by just two points. Scores weren't as high as previous years, but there is definitely an increase in competition.



Thank you to everyone who turned up on the day and especially to Mr. Andrew Doyle TD who also came to spectate and showed great interest in the proceedings.
