Speaking of the next Olympics, CY will be represented by North London, so any CYCYs thinking of coming, don't bother. We wouldn't want you making a mess of London with your littering ways and cluttering up the place, especially the Tube.

We've already got the world No1 and No3. WHat mroe funding do you think we need?

At the moment ! You could have Gold, Silver, and Bronze in every dicipline with more funding. Grass roots DT, they are there but finding it expensive to move on and up.

Clay pigeon shooting??? Please! Who gives a toss about clay pigeon shooting?????? lol

I do ! I love it. There are hundreds of young Cypriots who love it also and they tend to be very good. Watch out for some young Cypriot women in the future (with funding of course).

Purdey we've got the best in the world competing for Cyprus. How much higher can they get. Achilleos won the World Championship and there's 5-6 youngsters coming up now that are winning tournaments all over the place.

Some of the best DT. Clay shooting is a fickle sport, one day you are on form the next day can be a complete disaster.
I have been involved with a few over the years, from gun balancing to improving sporting styles. I wish Cyprus well in the future there are some good kids out there who are hungry for success.
