Coveted places up for grabs in All-Ireland clay pigeon shoot

Coveted places up for grabs in All-Ireland clay pigeon shoot

With just one round remaining, tensions are rising as competitors battle for a coveted place in the All-Ireland shoot later this season. Shooters in the Senior, ladies and Junior divisions gave it their all, navigating a deceptively tricky course that tested both precision and experience.
The Senior category saw Seán Rigley and Davy Benson come out on top with a stand-out 39, just ahead of a tightly-packed group of challengers, with multiple shooters close behind on 38 – underlining just how competitive the field has become.
In the ladies' division, Ciarra Carley and Alison Morris led the way, hitting a solid 36 to claim top honours.
The Juniors once again impressed, as Glen Carley and Robert Civciss combined for a top score of 37, showcasing the emerging talent in the Wexford clay shooting scene.
Course design played a big role in separating the field. The simultaneous crossing pair on Stand 1 tripped up more than a few seasoned shooters, while the DTL challenge on Stand 3 caught others by surprise.
Many remarked on the clever lay-out – with targets that appeared straightforward but required a deeper level of tactical shooting.
With three rounds now completed, attention shifts to the decisive fourth and final round, which will determine who earns the right to represent Wexford at the National Association of Regional Game Councils All-Ireland Shoot. With everything still up for grabs, the finale promises to be a thrilling showdown.

How will the challengers approach it, and will they have learned from the way other teams set up? Or is it fate that Pat Ryan and Cork will end a difficult year with the Liam MacCarthy Cup?

‘Doesn't seem right' – GAA fans vent over way All-Ireland final tickets are dished out by clubs

GAA FANS have called for a change to how All-Ireland final tickets are distributed after one supporter from outside the counties involved won TEN. 2 The All-Ireland hurling final takes place this Sunday Credit: Piaras Ó Mídheach/Sportsfile 2 Fans complained about how tickets are distributed Credit: Daire Brennan/Sportsfile Unsurprisingly, tickets have been at a premium for both games, with fans from the associated counties getting their hands on some through the respective county boards. Meanwhile, a select allocation is distributed by the GAA to other counties around Ireland, with those tickets then passed onto supporters through clubs of which they are members. Many counties and clubs have held draws among their members with tickets being the prize. However, one such county caught attention on social media for awarding TEN to a single member for the hurling final. Read More on GAA The same will be the case for the football final. The process drew criticism online, with some calling for the review as to how tickets are distributed to be reviewed. Journalist Adam Moynihan said: "So many people from Cork, Tipp, Kerry and Donegal will miss out on All-Ireland final tickets. "Meanwhile clubs/boards all over the country are flogging them in raffles (someone has just won TEN tickets in one draw). Most read in GAA Hurling "I know fundraisers are important but it doesn't seem right." The Irish Sun's Paul Dollery posted: "For the thousands of people across Tipp and Cork who are going to the ends of the earth just to get one, it must be infuriating to see another county giving away ten to one person as a prize."

"I'm all for GAA units getting tickets or raffling and fundraising using All Ireland Final tickets, but 10 tickets to one person is absolutely insane!

"We will not be in a position to meet any further requests.
