End to Winter D(r)own The Line

Fourth League Shoot goes with a Splash

Twenty intrepid competitors took part in the fourth and final round of the Cu Plas Callow Winter DTL League at Meary Veg, Santon, in conditions perhaps best described as ‘moist and challenging’.

Aaron Wade junior blazed a trail for A Class with a perfect 25 / 75 during the first round, closely followed by Mark Riley with 25 / 73 and Alan Wade senior with 25 / 71. Class B shooter Rob Corlett also bagged 25 / 71 followed by junior Joe Faragher on 23 / 68 and another Corlett – this time Daddy Dave – with 22 / 65. Class C was led by Mark Barnett with 22 / 66 followed by junior David Cowin on 21 / 62 and Allana Wade with a tidy 22 / 60.

The deluge continued well into round two but that didn’t stop Alan Wade putting in another 25 / 74, with Mike Walker in hot pursuit on 25 / 73 and Peter Kelly completing the Class A trio on 24 / 71. Peter Lowe and Stan Cross improved on their first round of 22 hits with 24 / 72 and 24 / 71 respectively, with Dave Corlett scoring 23 / 68 to round off Class B. Meanwhile in C Class junior shooter David Cowin stayed strong with another 21 / 63 while Mark Barnett was out to sea on 20 / 58, and Allana Wade reeled in 16 / 40 at the end of a very wet and challenging day.

Fabrizio’s Windy Winter Utopia

Final Round of English Skeet

Eighteen hardy competitors took part in the final round of Utopia Hair Salon‘s English Skeet League at Meary Veg, Santon, in bright and very breezy conditions.

Class A shooters Giulio Fabrizio and John Moore made the best of a difficult first round by dropping just two targets each for a halfway score of 23, closely followed by Stan and Micheal Cross with 21 apiece, leaving Dave Corlett and Paul Mihailovits to pick up 20 targets each. Class B was led by Ted Kermeen, Joe Faragher, and Will Rand each with 19 hits, while Alan Wright and Brian Kelly fronted Class C on 18.

Kelly remained consistent with another 18 during round two despite increasing winds, with Kermeen and Moore joined by Pietro Fabrizio, Stan Cross, and Rob Marshall also on 18. Micheal Cross dug deep to find another 21, where he was joined by Giulio Fabrizio. Mihailovits bagged another 20 while Corlett dropped to 19, leaving Mark Barnett at the top of the second round with 23.
