Winner of the Bev Waller Trophy, and for the second year running, was D Moore (Lincolnshire) who was High Gun (after a shoot off) for the day.

Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to all those who came to support the championship.   Our thanks go to Natasha, Aaron, John and their team and the referees for hosting and running a most enjoyable and successful shoot.

Full scores on the CPSA website here.

The weekend of 4th and the 5th of May was probably the best weekend of the year (so far) and the weather was ideal i.e. sunny, dry, little wind on the Saturday, hardly any on the Sunday, for the Cambridgeshire 2024 English Skeet Championship kindly hosted by the Priory Clay Target Centre at Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire.

Very good scores were recorded on both days by most participants with Albert Taylor achieving the championship title with a fantastic score of 99, well done Albert – also netting him the A Class Trophy

Philip Barnard took both the “AA” Class title along with the Men’s shield with a score of 97.

Peter Cook won the Veteran’s trophy with a 96.

“B” Class winner was Cambridgeshire CPSA Chairman Tim Jones also on 96.

“C” Class was won by Tony Randall with an 88.

Sadly no ladies or juniors entered.

The Lincolnshire Skeet Championship was also held on this weekend and the Bev Waller perpetual trophy was contested by both Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire top shooters Albert Taylor, Tony Woodrow and Doug Moore with Doug emerging victorious after a tense shoot off.

Thanks very much to the Priory Clay Target Centre for an excellent shoot, all of the staff and the referees for a very well-run competition.

Mike Williams.

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.

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!

Report from Tim Jones.

Full individual results here, team results here (until overwritten by the 2024 result).

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.

The weather stayed bright and dry with a light breeze across the layouts and some good scores were posted.

Thank you to all of the team at Eriswell Lodge for putting on a quality event and being great hosts!

Amelia.

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

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.
