Dara takes the sport very seriously

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Dara begins by playing it safe, and getting "one in the bank" from a distance of just a few metres. Moving his target trolley just one metre further away, he then sets about identifying the best trolley to use for his next shot, by testing how wobbly their wheels are. His next shot is bang on target, proving the importance of using only the best equipment for your game. After interpreting Alex's comment about the distance as criticism of his cautious approach, Dara moves the target trolley forward quite a distance, and then takes a running start at his next shot, which appears to be veering off-target, but actually makes gentle contact. With just ten seconds left, Dara takes one final shot at a slightly more distant target, his projectile beatifully rebounding off of one of his previously-rolled trolleys, and landing exactly where it needs to be. In the studio, Dara adopts the demeanour of a professional trolley bowler at the height of his game, discussing how the courses for the sport vary from location to location. With a personal best of about 16.5 Noel Edmondses (c28.5m, according to Google), Dara earns third place in the task.
