Cambridgeshire Universal Trench Championship 2012

November the 4th: the last outing of the season for the Cambridgeshire Travellers. How lucky were the few that went to Nuthampstead for the Cambs Universal Trench Championship. You could say that the sun shone down on the few that went, as it was the wettest day I can remember. As the ranges were under cover, we had a good dry shoot with just the short walk from club house, to car, to range, to contend with.
 
As at Northampton a few weeks earlier, Squad 1 peg I was taken by David Christensen. This was, it seems, the place to be, at least it was for David to continue as he left off at the double rise.
 
David's 76 was enough to win his second County Championship of 2012, but it was nip and touch with Paul Ashley starting to find form as the day progressed. Paul finished with a fine 74.
 
Tim Jones did enough to win the Vets’ by just a couple of targets from the ever young John Barnard, by shooting a 61 and that included missing about 6 targets in a row.
 
Belinda York, one of  our trap stalwarts took the Ladies with a 66.
 
County Champion David Christensen 76
Runner up and Seniors’ Champion Paul Ashley 74
Vets’ Tim Jones 61
Ladies’ Belinda York 66
 
Many thanks to Nuthampstead Shooting Ground for looking after us for the day.
 
This is my last report and just to remind you all the county AGM  is on  Wednesday the 23rd January 2013 at the social club Willingham 7.30 start.

(Thanks to Allan Wright for the report)
