Success for Louth clay shooters
Louth Village sharpshooter Jake Byrne made waves last year as he became one of the youngest competitors ever to represent Ireland at the World Clay Shooting Championships which were held in Florida. In doing so he established himself as one of the finest marksmen in the country. Now there is a new kid on the block in the shape of Jake’s 14-year-old brother Ryan who completed a fantastic debut season in competitive action by finishing top of the junior league which has been running since February. According to Jake the finals in Cortlough were a huge success for local shooters with a number of Louth men and women coming

home with medals. “I came third in my section which earned me a medal and my brother Ryan who is still only 14 did really
well coming out on top of the junior section. My girlfriend Aoife McComish came fourth overall in the ladies which was fantastic as
this is only her first year competing. “We also had great results from Tony McComish, Denis Duggan, Colin Dunne, Maurice Kavanagh, Bernard Anderson, Michael Callaghan and Gerard Kirk which resulted in an excellent weekend for Louth shooters. “All proceeds from last Sunday’s competition went towards the Children’s Hospital in Crumlin which raised €1800 which we were delighted to contribute to. Next up for us are the Louth qualifiers which will take place over the next six weeks to decide who will be a part of the Louth team which will go forward to the national championships,” explained Jake.
Man has difficulty with drink A man who was described as having a difficulty with drink was fined €75 when he appeared at Dundalk District Court. Simon Maguire with an address at 2 Woodland Park was arrested as he was a source of danger to himself when Gardai encountered
him at Clanbrassil St on April 14 this year. Solicitor, Peter Lavery, stated that his client was of limited means but Judge William Hamill asked how he had enough money to get drunk. The judge pointed out that
while the defendant obviously had no regard for his own safety he should consider how others might feel. Mr Lavery added that his client, who had 92 previous convictions, had a bad history and is in dire circumstances.
