THERE was some spectacular shooting in the junior ranks of the Irish Pony Club Tetrathlon championships with James Kavanagh of Carlow recording 10 bulls’ eyes using a pistol on his way to winning the boys’ individual international class on a total of 4,889.

Kavanagh, who also won the swim, was on the Irish silver squad which claimed the team event (19,300) and little wonder as it also contained Robbie Savage who finished second (4,821), James Drumm who was third (4,815), Tim O’Brien who finished fifth (4,775) and the sixth-placed Pádraig Fives (4,774).
