Charity clay pigeon shoot returns!

Enthusiasts of all levels are being invited to give shooting a shot at a charity clay pigeon shoot in county Cork later this month.

East Cork Gun Club will hold its annual Darragh O’Connell memorial clay shoot in aid of Night Nursing Services with the Irish Cancer Society on 19 October.

The popular event will take place at RiverValley Clay Target Club, Ballindenisk, Watergrasshill from 10am-4pm.

It’s a brilliant day out for all with a large selection of prizes for participants taking part in the down the line (DTL) and sporting disciplines.

As in previous years, a ‘Have a Go’ stand will be there on the day where anyone interested in trying out some shooting and archery can give it a shot.

Committee member Jack Hourighan said: “When approached some years back about a fundraiser for the Irish Cancer Society Night Nursing Services we were more than happy to get involved. The members, being aware of so many people who are beneficiaries of this service in the community, were delighted through our sport to give support. We would hope that this small effort would prove beneficial to this worthy cause.”
