Many thanks to Cambridge GC for their hospitality.

This shoot clashed with the Inter counties Skeet at Northampton, so unfortunately we did lose some entries, but never the less we had a good few shooters and the standard was top notch.  On the Saturday, Philip Barnard went home with a 92.  Having spoken to him he felt he should have done better, and that proved to be the case as on the Sunday David Hewitt Hulin also shot a 92.  As Philip was flying the flag for the county at Northampton he couldn’t get back for a shoot off, giving David the well earned title of County Champion.  The Vets title was also a very close affair with 5 shooters within 1 target, with Richard Croft coming out on top.  For Amelia Smith, it is her first year as a competitor and in fact she hasn’t been shooting a year yet, so she will be happy with the County Ladies Championship to take home. Results are:

County Champion David Hewitt Hulin 92

Ladies Champion Amelia Smith 67

Vets Champion Richard Croft 83

Colts Champ Samuel Halls 78

AA Class Chris Morris  80

A Class Mark Adams 90

B Class Philip Barnard 92

C Class Jason Pereira  85

April 15th & 16th The Cambridgeshire All Round Championship.

This is the second Championship of the year closely following on from the Olympic Skeet but as expected this one was much more popular with the Cambs faithful.

The All Round as per its title consists of some of the most popular CPSA disciplines:

• Single Barrel, derived from DTL, but only one shot is permitted
• ABT two shots are allowed but only scored as one point whatever shot hits the target
• English Skeet; and
• English Sporting,

and so the total is out of 100.

As we know the cream will always rise to the top, so even on a windy cold weekend, that was what happened with a score of 88: just 12 away can’t be bad. This is what Taylor Hedgecock shot, to become County All Round Champion. There was a chasing pack lead by last year’s Champion Philip Barnard who shot 87, how close is that?

The ladies went to Elizabeth Cook (last year’s Champion) and the Colts to Archie Bowman (again last year’s Champion). The Vets went to Gordon Webster showing his class, and the Juniors also went to Taylor Hedgecock.

Many thanks to Cambridge Gun Club for a very good enjoyable day.
