Locals continued success in The Ulster Counties Summer League

            The results for round 2 of the Ulster Counties 50 metre Postal Leagues make very interesting reading and show that locals are continuing to produce significant results in almost all the Divisions contested. I will give the Division, followed by the name and the shooters position in that Division:-

Division 1 – Mike Duncalf 2nd, Tom Lord 9th

Division 2 – Bill Jones 2nd

Division 3 – Andy Potter 2nd, Nick Brown 9th

Division 5 – Richard Arthur 1st, Tracey Skelton 2nd, Andy Traynor 4th, Illiam Christian 7th Division 6 – Mike Clague 1st, Perryn Callister =3rd, Tony Kneale 7th

Division 7 – Steve Callus 3rd, Liz Jones 4th

Division 9 – Alex Trafford =3rd

Division 10 – Thomas Clague 1st

            The team results make even better reading and three local teams lead their Divisions, one lies in equal second position and the remaining team are third, terrific results for all concerned.
