Well it definitely wasnt me on either count but thank you kindly for having me up there today. Many leads beat me up but nice to have a go at the 4 leads for the first time in a loooonng time. Practise needed me thinks but its all experience and there was some definite possible medal winning chucks up there today.

A top day indeed guys.. Sorry I wasnt about to setup and pack down this time

A massive personal thankyou to all the casters that stepped up to make this possible and the lads that came along to boost the team funds by joining in today, big thanks to Peter from the IFSA too for overseeing everything in his official capacity.

Lets go do ourselves and the Emerald Isle proud, bring it on..

Its good to be on the team but ive a lot of work to do now for Italy in August, so plenty of practice and trying to implement the good advice the lads give me. A special mention to Marty who did a 6 hour round trip to cast despite having a hectic work schedule , respect

well done to all who are travelling,

Weldone men for stepping up, very strong team there, a first for Irish casting,here's to your success and many more teams to come in the future.
