Cambridgeshire STR Championship 2017
Cambridgeshire Sportrap 28th/29th October – Cambridge GC
This was tough but fair, the wind made it tough but it was windy for all taking part but, as usual you can’t stop the cream from rising to the top and that it did with two of the country’s top men Mark Bowes and Harry Seal finishing on 87. Only one person bettered that but he was a Suffolk shooter, Richard Bunning (89). Vets won by Michael Fryer (79), Juniors Taylor Hedgecock (84) and Ladies Holly Duggan (73), and Colts Kieran Carter (71). Well shot to you all.
Details of who actually won to follow once provided by the committee!

Cambridgeshire FITASC
From the county chair:
The County FITASC Championship which was held on the 26/27th August at Grimsthorpe. I went on the Sunday to get some pictures but being held over 2 days the County winners shot on the Saturday so no pictures of them. But the Cambs Championship was taken by Harry Seal with a 86 the Vets went to Steve Grant with 83 and the Ladies went to Holly Duggan with 68. These are very good scores indeed judging by the score board only two people shot better than Harry over 2 days.
