The weather stayed dry for the two days and juniors from 5-18 years of age enjoyed a challenging course, including shooting from a tower in the forest, thanks to Houtman Scaffolding.

The event ran very smoothly and thanks are due to Tournament Organiser Eddie McLean, Course Layers Damien Lennon and Frank Mulligan and Judges Frank Mulligan, Patricia Mulligan, Robert Nesbitt, Ashley Russell-Cowan, Deidre Shannon, Anne Lavery and Lewis Gamble.
