DTL - IT'S A CLOSE THING   NORTHANTS AND E/M OSK CHAMPS

Northampton Shooting Ground held the Beds, Cambs and Northants County DTL championships today and again it was close at the top. Outside the county, Beds shooter Kevin Parsons put in a 99/291 for the best shoot of the day, but in Northants, Steve Smith snuck in with 98/290 over Roy Tyler's 99/289, both great scores! In the Northants Ladies, Issy Thorogood (Go Issy!) beat the two rivals of Mo Sentance and Rose Palmer. Tony Clayton rounded off the medals, with a score he was not happy with of 95. Unfortunately, no juniors this year, but they are probably concentrating on the other disciplines. 

 

Last year at the Olympic Skeet championships, the running of the event was challenged by a number of shooters. This year Bob Meadows, our own ISSF Judge and British Shooting OSK, OT and DT Referee took charge. Even with a major breakdown, that Pete and Roy handled very professionally, the shooters were very happy with the officiating. In the end, nobody could touch Nicky Brocklesby, on a mission to make her mark. In the end, 91 (the equivalent to an Olympic MQS) won her the championship, with Andrew Lea making a stunning charge with 88 to take runner up.
BRONZE AT ENGLISH ABT CHAMPS GOLD AT EAST MIDS SKEET DOUBLES

Sue Bate has just reported back from the English ABT Championships, being held on the 4th July 2010 at windy Southern Counties in Dorset. In a field of 91 competitors, Sue tied for Runner-up Lady and after a shootout, secured the Bronze medal in the Ladies English ABT Championship. Our congratulations are sent to Sue and good luck for the rest of the year's shoots.

Ladies seem to be the winners recently, in national and now Regional championships. Again on the 4th July, in the East Midlands Skeet Doubles Championships, Northants Committee Member Bex Lee, won the Ladies Championship in some nasty wind effected clays. Bex has won other East Midlands Regional medals before, but a gold was elusive. Well done Bex! 

NORTHANTS ESP CHAMPS EAST MIDLANDS I/C ESP

Sunday, 4th July 2010 saw the Northants shooters arrive at Northampton Shooting Ground to fight for the 2010 English Sporting Championships. The sun was shining, the wind was blowing and Roy and Pete had set a tough course for the day. Early on, Mark Massey set a blistering 95 to set the pace and even he thought it would be beat. As the day progressed and the scores came in, Mark went off to win another shoot, before returning for the end.

Whilst he was away, Mo Sentance put in a winning score of 70 for the Ladies title and Ashley Sharman secured the Juniors and Mick Tee, secured the Veteran title with a super 86. Mark Massey's wait was rewarded with the Northants County Senior Championship.

Initial Selection has been made for the Northamptonshire county teams for the East Midlands Inter-Counties championships being held at Sporting Targets on Sunday August 15th.

Seniors:

Mark Massey, Neil Faulkner, Dave Thomas, Steve Smith, James Lacey, Les Sperling & Mick Russell.

Ladies:

Mo Sentance, Rose Palmer & Catherine Foster.

Veterans:

Mick Tee.

Once other Northants shooters respond, they will be added to the above lists. We are also hoping to field a Junior team, if possible.
NORTHANTS FITASC CHAMPIONSHIPS NORTHANTS ABT CHAMPIONSHIPS

On the hottest day of the year so far, Sporting Targets hosted the Northants and Beds FITASC Championships over a 75 bird course of fire. Starting on the Embankment layout, the shooters were gently introduced, which was to become a tricky course by the Quarry layout.

Kyle Storey set the pace in the morning with a steady 60, followed into the clubhouse by David Thomas and James Burton on 62. Right at the end, James Lacey stormed into the clubhouse with a cracking 65 to take the title.

Our congratulations to the 12 Northants shooters who took part and look forward to seeing you later in the year. <Results>

The day following the FITASC Champs, 23rd May 2010, Northampton Shooting Ground hosted the Northants ABT Championships, again in glorious sunshine. Although the numbers of competitors was down on previous years, it was still tough at the top. Tony Clayton and Mick Rolstone were first into the clubhouse, both on 88 with Sue Bate (pictured) close behind on 87. Only when the fourth squad came in, did we realise that Les Sperling, with a crippling bad back, had taken the high gun on 90. Tony Clayton still took the Veteran's trophy and Sue Bate the Ladies. Well done to all.  <Results>
