Last year saw Ray Kane, Paul O'Boyle and Peter Friend representing Ireland in this match; this year, a larger contingent is heading over to the Hague (leaving tomorrow afternoon) - Ray, Paul, myself and Aisling Miller shooting air rifle and Caroline O'Brien and Peter Friend shooting air pistol, with Kealan Symes acting as team manager.

There's also a team coming over from Northern Ireland (Alan, David, Robert and Hugh) shooting air pistol, so there should be a few familiar accents about the place at least, up against a fairly sizable contingent from England, Wales and Scotland, as well as from a dozen other countries (small places like Germany and Russia). 167 shooters in total, split between rifle/pistol, men/women and senior/juniors.

Live results and webcams will be up here.

Daily results should go up here and photos here.

I don't know if we'll have internet access from there or if we'll have time to use it, but if we do, I'll try to post an update or two while we're there. Wish us luck...
