Intercounties FITASC 2023

Sporting Targets, 12/13th August 2023

Thanks to all the team from over the weekend shooting the Intercounties FITASC. Most shot on Saturday – a day with varying degrees of weather (some nice sunshine with sporadic rain some a bit harder than others at times). The vets team were in 1st joint place after Saturday but with more scores coming in on Sunday were pushed down into 3rd place. The senior team finished in 5th.

After managing to get 4 juniors:

M Allen

B Jorden

C Hodson

S Vella

available to shoot they all shot very well and came away with the win they deserved.

As most people have gone home by the end of the day, the Cambs team manager picked up the glassware for you all and will catch up with you all soon.

Well shot everyone thank you all.

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!

Report from Tim Jones.

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 👍

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.
