Monday 17 Sept
- With range temperatures at 30c the Irish Squad were in for a very hot afternoon. First on deck was our RD and John opened the scoring on stage 23 with a clean run. The rest of the squad followed with Pat The Bubble Murphy taking first blood for the Irish squad.
- Next stage up was the jungle stage with John Fitz scoring 3 alphas on the bobber, and after that it was all down hill for our RD, Andrew Pedlow, Pat Murphy and Paul Smith settled in to shoot good scores with the lads well up on the stage results.
- Paul Daly was dogged with gun problems on the first few stages but with the help of our good friend Even Skaarer, Paul’s problems were sorted out. Paul completed the day with decent runs on the last few stages.
- The Production Team got off to a flying start with the lads putting in some good stage times and lot of Alphas. Hugh Daly kept the flag flying on Squad 53 with accurate shooting and a more than respectable performance in a top European Field. The lads come off the last stage at 19.40 last night, seven and a half hours for the first 6 stages.
- Overall a great start with Andrew Pedlow, Pat Murphy and Paul Smith shooting very consistently throughout the day.
- Tuesday is the free day with lots of gun cleaning and mental preparation. . The crew are all in great form and in the words of one Irish Political Party A lot done and a lot more to do .
