Club Shooting
The first of this season's afternoon visitors' sessions was a great success with 11 newbies coming along to try out the sport. Many thanks to our members who helped run the session. Several of the visitors expressed interest in coming back for another go, so we may see them at on Sunday. Our first squad starts at 6:30pm.
Many of our members used the break week in the Club Competition to get their Closed Champs cards completed and to catch up on club competition cards. Top shot in C Grade was Kate Yu with 96.2 ahead of Analin Rudd's estimated 94.1. 97.3 was the score of the night for our B Graders with Clive Brodie, Dianne Grain and Mark Riley all achieving it. The competition was equally fierce in the higher grades. Both Meredith Ackrill and Megan Brodie scored 100.6 but top honours went to Bex Baines by two inners for her 100.8. Bex continued to demonstrate how it's done in the 20 shots, scoring 200.13 to round out a phenomenal night (and get herself on the cake roster 3 times!).
Interclub
Round 1 of interclub was a clean sweep for Brooklyn. Our C Grade team recorded a convincing win against Wellington Central, scoring 371.9 against their 360.6. Top shot for Brooklyn was Finn Ashby with 97.5. B Grade was a closer match but our 381.7 beat South Wellington's 377.8. Top shot for Brooklyn was Mark Baines with 98.3. Our Open team also recorded a convincing win against Wellington Central, scoring 787.44 against their 764.32. Top shot for Brooklyn was Meredith Ackrill with 198.12.
