Cambridgeshire DTL 2024

21st April

Today Cambs were at the The Priory Clay Target Centre for a joint DTL county shoot alongside Norfolk. Familiar faces, and even the sun, occasionally, were seen out and about.

It was windy, which made targets very challenging, but some great scores were still entered by the end of the day, well done all.

For those who shot today, teams for the Intercounties DTL will be announced later in the year.

Congratulations to:

Phil Barnard Overall Champion and AA class
Gary Thatcher takes Vet’s,
Hazel Morris takes Ladies’, and B class
Richard Morris takes Men’s.
Chris Morris A class
Ian Larman C class

Massive thank you to The Priory for hosting again, as well as our thanks to the referees.

Cambridgeshire DTL 2023

It was a tough day for competitors shooting the Cambridgeshire DTL at The Priory Clay Target Centre on 23 July. 

There was a fantastic turnout and with an added bonus of the ‘miss money pot’ competition. Cloudy with occasional sun, but the wind was having a big influence on the clays.

The Overall champion and A Class winner was Steve Eley with a well earnt 96/284; the Men’s and AA class winner was Phil Barnard with 96/276; Veteran and B Class went to Jem Knight with 95/272 and Ladies and C class winner was Georgina Chamberlain with 93/274. 

Very close scores on a tough day. Congratulations to the winners and well done to all who took part. Full results here.

The Miss Money Pot – shooters pay into a pot with half the money going to the county and half repaid as prize money. 

The number of the first clay each shooter misses goes into a hat and the number drawn out of the hat at the end of the day wins the pot. 

The number drawn out was 1. 

There was a tie as seven shooters had missed their first target.  

Rather than split the money the 7 names were put in a hat and the winner of the pot was Gavin Dunbavin.

As always, the competition was masterfully hosted by the wonderful Priory, and our thanks go to all the clubhouse staff, groundsmen and referees.

Cambridgeshire DTL Championship 2022

Priory Clay Target Centre, 15th May 2022

There were some decent scores on the board, and Philip Barnard drew level with Steve Kirby on a 93 to force a shoot off!

During a tense round Phil dropped two barrels. Steve went on to drop a whole target. Phil barrelled another one, and at the end of the round it was level again! 

They then went on to a single barrel shoot off and Steve came out on top with a straight 25 whilst Phil dropped 2 to end on 23. 

The final results were as follows.

Cambridgeshire DTL

The 20th Aug was the eagerly awaited Cambs DTL Championship held over 4 layouts at Cambridge Gun Club.  Cambridgeshire fielded its top shooters, all looking to be the next DTL Champion. But there is only room for one and it was soon evident that the early score of 299 put in by Richard Morris was going to be enough to crown him Cambridgeshire DTL Champion for 2017. The other places went to Chris Morris (Richard’s Dad) taking the Seniors and A class with a 293.  The Ladies went to Hazel Whiten with a 286, so far all the honours are going home in the same car! The Vets went to Gordon Webster 287, Junior title to Taylor Hedgecock 287 and Colts to Archie Bowman 252
