earlier in the day. The ‘luck of the Irish’ seemed to fall on Team USA - they had clearly had the better luck.
When Saturday dawned, the winds had mercifully blown over and a more normal condition faced the teams though the damage had been largely done. Day two was less about sheer chance and more about skilful wind-reading and good judgement. In other words, the milder weather allowed a fairer contest. On that basis, Ireland fared better but it was not enough to compensate for the lottery of shooting through Friday’s brutal gales. Team USA prevailed on both F/Open and F/TR.
The week-long matches were at an end and what a week it had been. All credit is due to the members, officers and volunteers of the MNSCI and NRAI. They put on a great show which will be fondly remembered by all who attended. To round-off the week we gathered in the Bridge Hotel for a gala dinner and awards ceremony and what a fitting end that was to the whole week. Speeches were made, awards presented and friendships cemented in the best traditions of Irish hospitality.
It may be unfair to single out individuals for praise, but it would also be remiss to neglect to mention John-Paul Craven. His energy, determination and enthusiasm helped ensure that the matches at Tullamore were such a resounding success.
