West Cork and District Club Casting Day

#1 Post by paddyc »

A huge thank you the guys from the club for traveling all the way up for what was a very memorable day. Conditions were quite tuff today with little or no wind, (gusting to 3mph!! :roll: ) high humidity and air pressure (1018mb) yet some impressive distances were achived, the crack was 90 from the off and continued through out the day, but at the end there could only be one winner, so a big well done to Cliff Gallogaly.

Results in Meters:
Cliff Gallogaly-175.20
Paudie O'Driscoll-172.50
James Kiniry-161.81
Graham Flanagan-154.27
Sean O'Brien-140.10
Colin Mulvey-139.90
Joe Ganley-129.60
James O'Donohue-123.60
Roy Galvin-121.51
Rory Ganley-96.10
Danny O'Riordan-92.80

Forgive me if i have spelt any names wrong (With hand writing like that AG should be a doctor1) so please let me know the correct spelling..

Here are the top 5 improvers for the day:
James O'Donohue added 61 meters,
Danny O'Riordan added 49 meters,
Rory Ganley added 39 meters,
Graham Flanagan added 36 meters,
Joe Ganley added 23 meters....
Well done to everyone...

Many thanks to the sportscast Ireland lads for an entertaining and highly instructional day. The knowledge and insight into field casting these guys have is only outshone by their incredible patience and willingness to encourage and educate. I think everybody that travelled up was impressed at both the general advice and the individual instruction given. Definitely a super day out for any club and one which will no doubt be repeated by west cork and district. I cant wait! thanks again paddy, andrew, shane, john, dennis and crew.
