The Northern Ireland DTL silverware is flying out thick and fast, writes Allen Ervine.
Terrible conditions, with strong winds and heavy rain, greeted the 30 shooters on Saturday 2 March at Banbridge Gun Club for the Ballyvea Cup – yet scores were impressive.
Keith Montgomery was looking strong and finished with an excellent 100/297, but it was young Coleraine shooter Ross Armstrong who took the cup with a superb 100/300.
Montgomery took first in AA, with Darren Bell and Ronald Sloan in second place. The club handed over a cheque for £500, raised at an earlier charity shoot, to the Friends of the Cancer Centre.
