There’s no charge for being part of the League or for entering a team.
It’s not only Inter Club but is also Inter Team and includes non-Club Individuals as well.
The League is there to promote Clay Shooting at very reasonable prices and all surplus monies are ploughed back in as prizes for the participants.
Prizes are divide up over all the Classes and based on Handicaps to ensure a level playing field for beginners and less experienced people.
The League is open to beginners and improvers at Clay Shooting.
It is also open to game shooters who want to hone their shooting skills in the off-season.
If you are looking for a clay shoot where there is a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and where you will get coaching on the stand as you shoot, from experienced shooters, then this League is for you.

Possibilities: (Endless) - Pathway
The League has always been a feeder event for the introduction of new people to the ICTSA, ever since it was established by people like Des Foley, a former Chairman of the ICPSA, and others, back in 1979.
As participants become more skilled and confident, the aim is for them to move towards participation in Registered 100 Bird Shoots and join the ICTSA, if they are not already members.
Being part of the ICTSA affords a person the opportunity of entry to increasingly higher levels of competition across multiple shooting disciplines, not just Sporting, like DTL, ABT, Skeet, FITASC, COMPAK, Olympic Sheet and Olympic Trap, to mention but a few.
Many of the people who started shooting the League many years ago, have since shot on International Teams for Ireland, and who knows there is also the opportunity and possibility of representing the country in the Olympics some day. There is a defined Pathway from the novice, the whole way to the top.
