Competing competitions led to a disappointing turnout for the Cambridgeshire UT on Saturday 8th July 2017. The shoot itself – shared with the Hertfordshire Championship – had 27 entrants, but only two of these were from Cambridgeshire.
David Christensen, the defending champion, got off to a poor start with a 17ex25 and from then on stood little chance of catching last year’s Vets’ champion, John Russo, who finished with an impressive 89 to take both the County and Veterans’ titles. David’s form improved, but only enough to finish on 81, and in Cambridgeshire UT, like combat, there are no prizes for second place.
Commencing on the 29th June 2017, we are moving Cambridgeshire CPSA’s website to a new hosting mechanism. In the short term there may be reduced content, but the all-important fixtures list is here and the rest (including prior years) will appear soon. Please bear with us whilst the work is in progress
The day was a super day for shooting, and it was good to see so many top shots on a course that us mere mortals thought very testing. The course setter Mick said he thought a 96 would do it but it’s always nice when a specialist course setter is wrong as he was in this case, as a 97 won it.
ESP Winners
Wow!! how do they do it, 97 that is fantastic, and this was achieved by A Harvey from Suffolk. As I said, many good shooters took part, but our eyes are, of course, on the Cambridgeshire contingent. This was led By Phil Gray with a super 95 and this was enough to take the County title for who knows how
Brian Dunbavin
many consecutive times. Phil was closely followed by Justin Bladen with 93, Harry Seal with 92 and Mark Bowes with 90.
The Vets came out in force and all showed their form, but it was Brian Dunbavin coming out on top once again with a fine 88.
A squad of Ladies were evident, always good to see as Cambridgeshire has a task to get a full ladies team together but I think we may be in luck this year. From the ladies, Holly Duggan shone out not only winning the County Championship but also was top lady overall with a 71 and there was some very good ladies taking part on the day.
The juniors, well, what a top performance from Dan Mawby he shot 88 not only taking the Juniors but also winning A class. Super job Dan.
The Colts also thin on the ground but a very good day for K Carter 74, what a good shoot for a Colt and now County champion.
