SSAI Membership
The NTSA regret to announce that it has withdrawn from the SSAI.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.

Derek Burnett doing well in qualifications PDF Print E-mail

Image Derek Burnett, Ireland's Olympic Trap shooter in Athens, is doing as well as we expected he would in Athens, despite a low score in the today's last qualifying string. He's currently sitting in joint ninth place with Australian Michael Diamond who won the gold in Sydney, and well ahead of UK's Ian Peel who took silver in Sydney.



The results so far show the story - Italian shooter Giovanni Pellielo in the lead on 74 and Russian Alexei Alipov is behind only on countback on 74 as well. There are six shooters on 73 and then seven shooters including Derek are tied on 72 for ninth place. Two more strings to go tomorrow at 0800 our time, and Derek is once more squadded with Michael Diamond and Ian Peel.

The NTSA wishes him the best of luck and we hope he brings home the medal he deserves!
