Sean Baldwin of the Defence Forces Shooting Team won the Wilkinstown 50m prone rifle shoot on the 5th of July held in Dublin Rifle Club with a score of 580. Second place went to Dave Cooney of the East Coast Shooting Club and third place was taken by Mike Dunne of Dublin University Rifle Club.

The match was well attended with 18 entries and scores were very respectable considering the tricky weather conditions. The class contest was decided with the 4 highest strings from each competitor counting and this produced some very close results with 2 class medals being divided on a 3 string countback! The 15 euro cash prize for each class winner was taken by Sean Baldwin, Daniel Fleming, Dave Cooney and Pavlina Mikova. Congratulations to all medal and prize winners.

A special thank you to J.K. Walsh and Alan Boothman of Dublin Rifle Club who greatly assisted W.T.S.C. in organising the event and also for the use of their shooting facilities. Thank you also to Dick Stapleton for acting as range officer for the entire day and to Dave Cullen of R.R.P.C. for his kind donation.
