Grafton Clay Target Club

Sunday March 13 started with some downpours, which intermittently visited us throughout the day. This did not dampen the spirits of our 34 shooters coming from near and far, who contested the Club 50T Double Barrel Championship with great enthusiasm. The afternoon saw the rain easing considerably to bring some sun shine and cloud here and there. At the end of the 50 targets championship, best scores were 2 on 49/50, Kim Nealon and Mike Sullivan. After a short battle, Kim Nealon came out on top. The day’s High Gun went to Stephan Saul from Kempsey. Great shooting in every event saw Steve pick up the High Gun trophy and a voucher to shoot at our next club day with free nominations. Results: Event 1: 25T Point score Cash Divide AA – 1st Stephan Saul 75/75, 2nd Kim Nealon, Mike Sullivan & John Cunningham; A – 1st Ted Schneider 73/75, 2nd Lyster Hart & Dicky Bennett; B – 1st Chris Durkin 72/75, 2nd Wolfe Reichmann & Lindsay Robson; C – 1st Dave Casbolt 58/75, 2nd Jacqui Hall Event 2: 50T Double Barrel Championship Overall – Kim Nealon; AA – 1st Mike Sullivan, 2nd Tony Coco; A – 1st Andrew Pirlo 2nd Peter McKenzie; B – 1st Chris Durkin 2nd Wolfe Reichmann; C – 1st Dave Casbolt 2nd Jacqui Hall.
