Today at the hill/ Results and PICS

#1 Post by paddyc »

Another great day at the hill and our biggest turn yet with 17 casters in attendance!
Richard Gormley (weirdfish) and Andrew Murphy (bigballs) both blasted leads over the 200m line on their debuts, Richard put it over 210m, while Gearoid came very close. Top wanging lads excellent result 8)
Other day casters were Alby, Masterkane and Erik, with John Keane adding nearly 50m to his distance :wink: .
Top spot went to Andrew G, who was consintrating on the light (gay) leads for the up coming Sussex tourny in two weeks time, well done Larry.

Results in metres:
Andrew Gormley- 100g/232.00--125g/236.00
John Cracko Henry- 125g/226.17--150g/220.50

Andrew Murphy- 150g/200.16 PB
Dennis Brock- 125g/182.60 PB 150g/198.70

nice one paddy

well done on the 125grm pb

great day, great turn-out and super casting by all the main contenders and especially the new ones, they are'nt many who can hit 180 meters never mind 200 plus first time on a casting court

pretty impressive, and on a day with little or no wind for most of it

paddy and crackoff's, crackoffs, were'nt taking any prisoners either, i found both beyond 360 meters!!

but andrew wanging the 100grm 230s is a sight to behold

Another great day out, well done to everyone some great casting today. At one stage I thought id a chance of beating Dennis, but he responded to shaneh and me breathing down his neck the only way he knows how, by belting one 8) . Great to meet Gearoid and Richie both travelling a long way and getting some great distances, yis did Munster proud lads. Also hats off to John Keane and Andrew (spud) Murphy, a star in the making 8)
