| NORTHANTS EM I/C DTL |
|
WE NEED YOUR HELP! Northants is winning the East Midlands Director's trophy, which is based upon the aggregate scores/points from the EM I/C championships. Next weekend (August 22nd 2010), we have no DTL teams at Nottingham & District Gun Club. We would like to put in a team of Seniors, Ladies, Vets and Juniors, if people are up for the challenge. Any points we earn from the event, will go towards the county winning the Directors trophy and of course anyone who has already won an East Midlands glassware trophy for 2010, could add to their collection. Are any of the Northants Dream Team up for another outing? Please contact Colin Butler if you are available. |

| NORTHANTS DTL 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. |
| BRONZE AT ENGLISH ABT CHAMPS |
| 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. |
| NORTHANTS ESP CHAMPIONSHIPS |
|
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. |
| NORTHANTS ABT CHAMPIONSHIPS |
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.

| NORTHANTS FITASC CHAMPS |
|
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> |
