Sussex Interclub HFT 2014 - Round 8 Results

[biggles]

Hi everyone (again)

Well …. What a stunning and surprising day in the Hawks’ woods and field. Not many targets in the latter and with very little breeze anywhere; but surely enough to catch some out – yours truly included.

A good turnout – especially from the MAD crew from Essex (twice as many of them as from some of the Sussex clubs) – met with some of the most pleasant weather we’ve had all year.

And some very high scores to go with it, topped by our first CLEAR of the 2014 season. Congrats for this go to Chief Hobbit – the one and only SIMMMO. Before anyone asks ….. yes, we did check his card for any signs of unwitnessed/signed alterations

Here are the scores on the doors. Please let me know a.s.a.p. if you spot anything you think is amiss.

Prize drawer winners today were :

• Gary Morrison – the £35 cash prize, and
• Nigel Wheal – the Air Arms goody bag

Team scores today and cumulatively are :

Club	Round 8	Total
Oaks	286	2228
Buxted	271	2105
Horsham	272	2083
Swallows	258	2048
Ford	253	1976
Iden Fern	235	1734

Iden Fern were unable to field a full team today, so had 1 card drawn at random from the ‘hat’ to make up the shortfall.

Oaks take yet another leap in to the distance from any other team and are only likely to be caught if we can lock the gate on their shoot farm … when they’re all IN there practicing on the 20^th September

And finally, today saw the award of two new PLATINUM badges – well deserved and won by :

Sam Robinson (not there to collect it!), and
Chris Tyhurst

Well done, guys.

Happy and safe shooting to you all ahead of Round 9 at Swallows FTC. In the meantime, I expect a bunch of us will be present at Northall next weekend for the Air Arms ‘do’.
