In club shooting this week, the top D Graders were Emily Lockery 93.0, Chris Lockery 92.1 and Josh Whitehead 91.1 with another four shooters recording scores in the high 80s. Matthew Canlas shot best in C Grade with 96.1, and Wiko du Toit was top B Grader with 96.4. In the higher grades only an inner separated Meredith Ackrill 99.5 and David Grain 99.4, and Meredith had the best 20-shot score of 198.9.
Our Brooklyn teams didn’t have a great night on Wednesday in Round 4 of the interclub competition, losing each of the three matches. Top Brooklyn shooters in each grade were Casey Israelson and Amalamo Simi jointly with 95.2, Erin Little with 96.3 and Dianne Grain with 194.8. However we still are leading in the C Grade competition with one match to go, are in 3rd place in the B Grade competition with two matches to go, and are 2nd equal in the Open Grade match with one match to go.
At the halfway point in the closed champs competition, Meredith Ackrill and David Grain both hold onto their leads in Master Grade and A Grade respectively, Inge Little retains 2nd place in C Grade, and Chris Lockery moves up two slots in D Grade to 3rd place. Meredith also continues to lead the women’s section, and our best-placed junior is Erin Little, currently in 4th position. Round 4 targets need to be shot by Sunday 22 July.
Many thanks to those who have offered assistance with running the Wellington Open Champs, and with providing plates of food. Your input is greatly appreciated.
