ESK – Cambridgeshire CPSA

Cambridgeshire Skeet 2023

The Cambridgeshire English Skeet championship was held at Priory Shooting Ground on 20 August and, despite clashing with the Ladies Football World Cup Final, attracted a good number of competitors.

Competition was strong. High gun was M Porter with 96/100.

As he is not a Cambridgeshire shooter he was not able to take the Cambridgeshire Championship, but was the winner of the Bev Waller Cup which is presented to the high gun of the day.

Six Cambridgeshire shooters shot 95/100 (!) and congratulations go to A Hallybone who won the shoot off for the championship and also took A class.

Congratulations also go to the winners of the other categories and classes which were decided by countback where necessary:

A Taylor – Men’s;

A Wright – Veteran’s;

K Moorbey – Ladies;

E Lord – Junior’s and AA class;

J Knight – B class;

S Moorbey – C class.

Well shot everyone. Thanks go to Natasha, John, referees and the other team members for all their hard work in running a successful shoot.

EM Inter-Counties Skeet 2023

This weekend, 1st-2nd July, was the Inter-Counties English skeet at Eriswell Lodge.

Firstly a very big thank you to Eriswell, their staff and referees for a most successfully-run day.

It was a tough shoot with the wind conditions playing havoc for all shooters.

It was great to have new shooters representing the county with Adam Hallybone, Katie Moorbey (junior) and dad Stephen Moorbey all giving good accounts – with Stephen managing to come second in C class, even winning a few bob!

It was also great to have shooters back representing the county with John Russell scoring a very respectable 93/100 (despite not being in the team!).

Cambridgeshire Veterans came away winners in the vets class, missing from the photos is Allan Wright whom without his great score of 93/100 it would not have happened. [Webmaster: Tim’s being modest – his own 92 was also crucial!]

Thank you to all the Cambridgeshire shooters who turned out for the county today, you did us proud!

Cambridgeshire Lording it at the British Open Skeet!

Congratulations to Marcus and Ethan Lord, two Cambridgeshire shooters who took part in the British Open Skeet at Eriswell this weekend. They each shot their first ever 100-straights, and what a time to do it!

They deservedly took the Parent/Child category with 200ex200, unsurprisingly, but were then faced with shootoffs for the overall title and categories/classes, as two other shooters had also shot straights.

Ethan shot 100+25+14 to come second behind Tom Clifford’s 100+25+16. He also took the Juniors’ Category.

Marcus shot 100+24 to come third overall.

Fantastic shooting, the pair of you.

English Skeet – Intercounties and World Skeet Masters

Team places have been reserved at Northampton on Sunday 11th September for the East Mids Intercounties Skeet. Our squad times are 10:00,10:20 and 10:40. Obviously team members shooting will be selected based on on the results of the Cambridge County Skeet competition on the 1st of May at Eriswell.

As the EM Intercounties clashes with the World Skeet Masters at Eriswell, these squad times give shooters the opportunity to shoot at Eriswell on the Saturday, shoot the I/C on Sunday morning, and be back to Eriswell if you are lucky/unlucky enough to be in a shoot-off

Good luck to all

Skeet manager

Success at the National Intercounties Skeet

Well done to all who competed this weekend in the National Inter-Counties English Skeet competition.

A massive achievement for Ross Elgie, Richard King and David Roling for all shooting 100/100, with David Roling winning the shoot off.

A further congratulations to:

Yorkshire for winning the Senior Team
Cambridgeshire for winning the Veteran Team
Cheshire for winning the Ladies Team
Hampshire for winning the Juniors Team

I would on a personal level like to congratulate Tim Jones and Peter Cook who took the Veterans Trophy for the second year in a row…. well shot both of you.

Also many thanks to Albert Taylor, James Yarrow, Gary Thatcher and Bob Eagle for competing for the Seniors Team with myself and all shot very well but were unlucky to not take the title this year. It was very difficult this year to even muster the two teams and many many thanks to those above for making the effort to travel to Bisley and shoot for the County, you guys all deserve a medal as far as I am concerned.

Again, thank you all.

Cambridgeshire Skeet

Day one of the County Skeet was a hot glorious day. However, there was nothing glorious about the very high winds causing some interesting targets. In spite of their erratic flight Albert Taylor put in an amazing first day score of 98 with Robert Allen and Peter Gaskin hot on his tail with 97’s.

Sunday morning dawned bright and cooler with a brisk wind increasing later into what one shooter said was a ‘mini hurricane’. Some great scores were shot by Peter Cook, Chris Morris, Malcolm Collins and Richard Morris, but nobody managed to pip our Albert’s score.

County Champion Albert Taylor (98) also won the Bev Waller Trophy.
Senior Men’s: Peter Gaskin (97)
Ladies’ Champion: Janet Maguire (84)
Vets’ : Peter Cook (96)
Colts’ : A. Bowman(92)
AA Class: R. Allen (97)
A Class: R. Morris (97)
B Class: P. Gaskin (97)
C Class: A. Bowman (92)

28 County Shooters braved the windy conditions so thank you and well done to all.

Our thanks also to Mick & Karen and their staff at Cambridge Gun Club for hosting yet another of our County Championships.
