Sunday 17th July was a day the Cambs skeet shooters were looking forward to and none more than me, for I just wonder if I have another year of representing my adopted County left in me and to my surprise it seems I do. 41 people made it to Eriswell (Lakenheath to me, as I have been going there for over 40 years and it was the place we went to play hooky many years ago when we should have been at work). But as I said, today it was Cambridgeshire's Skeet day.

Out of the 41 entrants 25 were Cambs so we knew that it was not going to be a walk in the park if you wanted to get in the team. The day was a good one with just a bit of a breeze, sometimes a bit strong, which affected some of the latter ranges out of the 4. All the ranges were manned in one case women'd with registered Referees taking care of the proceedings, so it seemed a very good day to pick for a county shoot.

When the scores started coming in, they indicated that the wind was going to play a small part in the outcome, at least for some, but not for the likes of Chris Morris who found it a walk in the park posting a 99 and not far behind was Peter Wright with a good 97. At the end of the day, two of our senior shooters Peter Cook, a former County Champion, and Albert Taylor came together in a shoot off as both had posted 96. Peter came out top after a thrilling shoot of on station 4 and became B class Champion. So at the end of the day winners were: Champion Chris Morris 99

Senior Champion Peter Wright 97

Ladies Liz Green 88

Vets Allan Wright 95

Colt Archie Bowman 89

A class Peter Wright

B class Peter Cook

C class Les Day (on count back)

Chris Morris also took the Bev Waller trophy and AA class County team Places.
