The City of London finals were held at Surbiton Rifle Club on Saturday April 27. In the team shoot-off, contested by the four divisional champions from the Winter season, East Grinstead had two teams representing the club. The ‘A’ team achieved the highest total gun score but lost out on the Macrae handicap system, with the EGTSC ‘C’ team of Graham Rowcroft, Elaine Kettle, Phil Wood, Mike Levy & Chris Phillips (standing in for Sheena Wilde) winning the trophy.
The Sussex County Finals were held at Chichester on Saturday 13th April with Charles White getting the ball rolling by winning the Juniors Championship for the Sutton Vase. Following 4 x 99's in the 4 cards of the competition so far, he notched a 5th 99 before going one better for a ton on the final card to win with a total of 199 ex 200, 3 points ahead of his nearest rival.
High Scoring in East Grinstead's Spring Open Shoot
In gloomy conditions but light winds forty four competitors from the Home Counties achieved some high scores in the East Grinstead Target Shooting Club’s Annual Spring Meeting at the weekend.
As the Winter season draws to a close it’s time to highlight some of the club’s achievements and to give a digital pat-on-the-back to the members who have contributed to those team and individual successes.
