Holly Duggan, Barry Simpson

The Cambridgeshire FITASC was held on Saturday and Sunday 16th/17th April and felt like two separate Championships. The Saturday started with sleet and snow and high winds; the Sunday much calmer and warmer in the sun. The differing weather had a huge effect on scores, as one might expect. The Saturday scores were much higher as the wind was by all accounts holding up the targets in the sky making higher scores possible hence the 94 shot on Saturday. It seems that by luck most of the Cambs shooters shot on Sunday; a much harder shoot, but it all worked out fair in the end. The high gun for the county shot on Sunday, as did almost all the category winners.

In a repeat of last year, Barry Simpson took the Championship, and he shot a very good 82. This was a tied score, but R Allen was not on the ground for a shoot off and so won the Senior Trophy. All the top Cambs shooters scores on the Sunday were very close and with 1 layout to go it was impossible to pick a favourite.  Barry Simpson took the title, Steve Grant won the Vets' with 81, and Holly Duggan won her second Championship, on 52, in less than a year to add the FITASC to her Sportrap title she won last year. Taylor Hedgecock took the Juniors' with a super 77. All in all, the shooters thought it was a good round as is the norm at Grimsthorpe. It was noticeable that some regular FITASC shooters were absent due to a two day shoot taking place in foreign parts on the same weekend.  Thank you to the team at Grimsthorpe for holding the Cambs FITASC this year.
