Shooting Success for Orla

Second Year Orla Brady has just returned from the British Shooting Schools Pistol Championships in Cannock, Staffordshire, where she finished in an admirable fifth place in the final of the Junior category, against a field of 52 competitors.

Orla started shooting in 2018 through Pony Club Tetrathlon, a multi-discipline sport comprising of shooting, swimming, running and horse riding. Last summer she won the area qualifier and went on to compete in the Pony Club Tetrathlon Championships in Warwickshire. 

In January, Orla came second in her area Pony Club Winter Triathlon and has qualified for the National Finals of the Winter Triathlon series, taking place at the end of March.

Last September, Orla was invited to train with the South East Regional Pistol Squad, based at the National Shooting Centre in Bisley.

Her aim for this season is to finish as high as possible in the Winter Triathlon and to qualify for the 2022 Tetrathlon Championships.
