The NTSA regret to announce that it has withdrawn from the SSAI. This decision was not reached lightly, but after careful consideration of the resources expended against very limited returns. It was felt that these resources would be better directed towards the NTSA's own core activities. The committee of the NTSA wish to thank all the SSAI committee members with whom they have worked closely over the years and of course will continue to work with within the framework of the FCP. |

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
IRISH JUNIOR SHOOTING TEAM ARRIVES AT GREAT BRITAIN JUNIOR INTERNATIONAL EVENT
Bisley Camp, Surrey, UK, August 5 -- The Irish Junior Shooting Team arrived today in Bisley Camp to compete in the 15th Annual GB Junior International Event against 160 other shooters from Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, England, Denmark, Germany, South Africa and the USA. The Irish Team will be competing in Junior Men's and Junior Women'sOlympic Air Rifle, shooting 60 (40 for the Junior Women) shots at a bulls-eye 0.9 millimetres across from ten metres away, with no telescopic sights.
Team spirits were high and the team is well prepared for the event. "The girls have never been so strong technically and the boys are right behind them" said Team Coach Geoff Cooney, "We've put a lot into the logistics and training for the match and now it's down to how well they hold their nerve on the line".
Overshadowing this year's preperation is the threat of Foot and Mouth disease on a neighbouring farm in Guilford. Bisley camp is currently on the edge of the official quarintine zone and rumours abound as to whether or not the zone will be expanded, or whether or not the event itself can go ahead. Worse still for the British shooting associations, Bisley Week, a week-long event that begins next weekend after the GB Junior International, and which is the largest event in the British calendar with thousands of shooters, may also fall victim to the Foot and Mouth outbreak.
Nevertheless, spirits here amongst tomorrow's Olympic Target Shooters are high and expectant of a reprieve for the event; the first day of which is tomorrow with Equipment Control checks and Official Training. Tuesday sees the Junior Men's Air Rifle event; Wednesday sees the Junior Women's Air Rifle event; and Thursday sees the Grand Prix event for both Junior Men and Junior Women, and the team returns to Dublin at 1945 on Friday night.
The Irish Junior Shooting Team is:
Team Officials:
Mark Dennehy, Team Manager
Geoff Cooney, Team Coach
Marina Cunningham, Team Childrens Officer
Team Shooters:
Women's Air Rifle:
Susan Cunningham (currently the Irish National Champion in Women's Air Rifle)
Paula Cunningham
Elizabeth O'Hagan
Men's Air Rifle:
Damien Fagan (currently the Irish National Champion in Men's Air Rifle)
Shane Flynn
