With only weeks away to the next Intervarsity competition which is being held in NUI Galway, everyone is looking to improve their scores they got at the DCU's competition.

19/11/2011 First Night Out

Last night was our first night out of the year. We headed to Leisureplex in Coolock for some fun games of Bowling and games of Pool afterwards.

While we "forgot" the camera, it's safe to say everyone had a good night. Mental note to everyone - if you want to play and win in pool, you need to have Dave as your partner in the doubles game. The guy is good!!!!!

12/11/2011 DCU's IV Competition

We hosted the first IV competition of the college year. DCU's team came third in the competition. D.I.T came in second and UL were the winners of the day

Our college team made of Mark Sharvin, Adam McSweeney, Sarah Moloney, Stephanie Martin and Austin Tobin scored a total of 2526 points. There were literally only 5 points between us and the winners UL.

Other points to note are Gemma Fallon and Martin Kenny both scored over 400 points in the beginner section and have now become Advanced Archers. The two new members shooting on the day, Séamus Twomey and Cillian Byrne did very well scoring above 320 points each.

WELL DONE EVERYONE!!
