Ref: Announcement of Ghana Shooting Squad for Commonwealth Games and ISSF World Cup Granada Spain 2014 Following preliminary qualification of athletes last November and ongoing assessment the GNRA is delighted to announce the provisional squad members for the Ghana National Shooting Team. Selected members of the squad will be participating in the forthcoming Commonwealth Games and International Shooting Sports Federation (ISSF) World Cup in Granada in Spain this September. This is the first round qualification of athletes for qualification for Rio Olympic Games 2016. The Squad is as follows; Mens 50m Prone Team Womens 50 3 P Team 1..............Douglas Asirifi Danquah Mercy Chodo 2 Emmanuel Koli Appiah Philomena Sapak 3 J. Dzorvakpor Rose Mensah Nyarko 4 Soloman Awah Enoch Mary Bondzie 5 Jackson Asiahkoh Grace Opare Yeboah 6 Sampson Asare Fosu Veronica Asafuah Justina Nyuorteng Coach Anthony Nimlaara Manager Cillian G. Walsh Contact 00233 243 241 241 ghananationalrifleassociation@gmail We have two medal hopefuls in two disciplines going to Glasgow and with the construction of a purpose build facility at the Teshie Military range intensive training will commence shortly. This will be the first time a shooting team from Ghana has competed internationally and it affords Ghana a fantastic opportunity to compete at the highest level. The depth of talent is very impressive especially amongst the female shooters competing in the 3 positions which technically is the most difficult discipline. Competition for the four Commonwealth Places is tight with only two male and two female athletes in attendance. Each member of the squad is a serving member of Ghana Armed Forces and has extensive experience in their chosen discipline. The Chairman of the GNRA, Cillian G. Walsh, has expressed his sincere thanks to both OMA, Solmed Alliance, Scottish Caledonian Society Ghana and Ghana Armed forces for their continued co-operation and support of the Black Snipers. Trusting on your continued co-operation and support in promoting the lesser known sports and please do not hesitate in contacting us for further detailed information and athlete profiles. Cillian George Walsh Chairman GNRA
