Sussex Interclub HFT 2017 - Round 3 RESULTS

[biggles]

Hi All

Huge thank yous to Phil and the whole of the Horsham Hawks team responsible for setting today’s course and putting on a great breakfast and lunch feast for us.

A very different day weather wise – again – with almost unbroken sun (except where it was dark in them there woods) and very little breeze (barely a Simmmo style “edge of kill” even in the field).

The Hawkes made up for this by placing a pair of quite vicious positionals – the free kneeler and free stander – all on their own in the field, but lofted on monsterous poles. If I can find the time, I will be tempted to go through all of today’s 70 score cards and may end up naming those who knocked over the teeny blob of a target which was the free stander on Lane 2 [see post 4 below]. Did they outnumber those who had the ‘pleasure’ of watching their pellet sail past one of the plate’s edges [oh yes 3.5:1]

Highlight of the day for me was to see Primary Class entrant young Wes pick up a third Gold and third Team place for Mile Oak .

Very pleased to say that the impact of Round 2s DQ and points deductions resulted in ZERO score card errors today. Simmmo tried his best to smile when he completed his rigorous check, but Charles and I could sense his frustration Well done; keep it up!

Please let me know a.s.a.p. if you spy anything you think is amiss. Have I misspelt any names? Have I put you in the wrong class? Let me know if you spot anything wrong. BBS PM or email should do the trick.

Prize drawer winners today were:

• Dave Rushman – the £35 cash prize,
• Nigel Wood – the Air Arms goody bag

More shuffling among the Teams today, with Buxted catching Meon to hold joint first place in the points table. Total team member scores and cumulative points won are :

Club	Round 3	Points
Buxted	283	33
Oaks	276	32
Meon Valley	272	33
Horsham	272	28
Ford	261	21
Swallows	261	20
Iden Fern	258	22
Maldon	245	22

Both MAD (with 2 present) and Swallows FTC and Ford (each with 4) had to rely on assistance from our rule which allows up to 3 cards drawn at random – from those NOT in their own club’s team – for the shortfall of numbers.

Happy and safe shooting to you all ahead of round 4 of the 2017 SIHFT, which is in two weeks’ time on the 11^th June at Mile Oak.

Hope to see a bunch of you tomorrow (Monday 29^th) at Mile Oaks for the Cancervive charity pairs competition and more again next Saturday at Buxted’s Open and Sunday for the Bowman Classic at Meon.
