\addsec{Report}


The first Island Games were held in July 1985 as part of
'The Year of Sport' in the Isle of Man. The intention was
to bring together sportsmen and sportswomen from a number
of small islands from different parts of the world to
participate in a festival of sport. So from 14 islands -
Aland, Anglesey, the Faroes, Froya, Gotland, Guernsey,
Hitra, Iceland, Jersey, Malta, the Orkney Islands, the
Shetland Islands, St. Helena and the Isle of Wight -
athletes came to the Isle of Man to compete in 7 sports -
badminton, athletics, cycling, shooting, swimming, soccer
and volleyball. The 'festival' was such a success that
at its conclusion the Island Games Association (IGA) was
instituted and the decision was taken to hold Island Games
every two years in different member islands.

This year, DURC Captain Steven Watterson, a Manx native, was
competing, and did spendidly well. In 10m Air Rifle, he
placed third in the Individual event, shooting his first
offical 'possible' (the maximum possible score, 100/100, also
known as a 'tun'). Despite a setback of shooting a 7.0 on his
first shot in the final, he fought hard and managed to fend
off David Turner and Pierre Goubert for third place. In the
Team event, Steven and teammate Jaccie Hamilton-Jones came
fourth, beaten by the Gotland, Jersey and Aland teams -
though Jaccie had some problems with her air rifle causing
her to shoot a very low score of 493 to Steven's 554. 

In 50m 3P rifle (the most rigorous and demanding of all rifle
disciplines), Steven managed to take the silver medal, beaten
only by Mattias Magnusson of Gotland. It was a close race for
the qualification round, as Stevens 1075 beat Birger
Johansson of Gotland into third place by only one point!
However, in the final Steven widened the gap to 12.4 points,
taking second place with no problems whatsoever. In fact, his
89.7 was the highest score shot in the final round. In the
team match, Steven and teammate Barry Jones took second
place, beating the Jersey team off by only eleven points at 2064
to 2053, thus securing Steven's third medal of the Games.

Thus, Steven has proven the level at which he shoots, which
is certainly on a par with the Irish National Squad - had he
shot these scores in last weekend's National Championships,
DURC would now have three or four National Championship
medals, instead of the two we currently hold. We're looking
forward to Steven competing in more Irish events soon,
starting with this weekend's DURC 50m Prone Open Competition
-- a full report will follow on that event next week!
