Sussex Interclub HFT 2016 - Round 3 Results

[biggles]

Hi all

Another great round in the 2016 Sussex Interclub series, hosted by Swallows FTC. Turnout increased to 75 for today, which is brilliant.

Different course – again – at Swallows FTC, this time restricted to the north field and lake. On the plus side, this did make for a much shorter/circular walk, rather than the very long trek south when we had access to the south field and woods.

While this morning’s checkers came in from the course convinced that there would be many clearances, from a personal perspective today delivered a pretty much perfect outcome.

Our best-of-the-best just (but only just) missed out on Clear Round badges, while the less experienced and complete newbies were rewarded with respectable scores and badges and I heard of several personal best results. From the latter groups, big well dones go to Swallows FTC newcomer and Junior (Roddy) scoring a 39 in his first comp and earning a Bronze badge and Carla achieving a PB of 52 using her dad’s gun; not sure he’ll get that back in a hurry

Here is the full set of results …..

Please let me know a.s.a.p. if you spot anything you think is amiss.

Prize drawer winners today were :

• Chris Tyhurst – the £38 cash prize, and
• Steve Cumming – the Air Arms goody bag

During the post-shoot announcements, I declared Team scores which proved to be wrong. Sorry! In the peace and relative quiet of home, I spotted that the spreadsheet still recorded Tugg as a Buxted member, where this year he’s firmly attached to MAD. As a result, today’s adjusted team scores and cumulative points won are :

Club	Round 3	Points
Maldon	290	23
Oaks	282	34
Meon Valley	273	33
Buxted	272	29
Ford	266	23
Horsham	259	25
Swallows	257	21
Iden Fern	228	16

Happy and safe shooting to you all ahead of round 4 of the 2016 SIHFT, which is in three weeks on the 5^th June at Horsham Hawks.

In the meantime, best of luck to the SIHFT participant crew heading ooooop North and West to Furnace Mill for round two of this year’s UKAHFT. For the rest, happy and safe shooting wherever you may be.
