Simpson and Mihailovits Skeet Lead

Winter Skeet Round Four

The fourth and final round of the Utopia Hair Salon Winter Series English Skeet League was held at Meary Veg Santon with 15 competitors taking part in cold, blustery and hazy conditions.

The joint leaders after the first round were Paul Mihailovits and John Moore on 24 points with C class shooters Mark Hepworth and junior Zac Bellhouse in joint third place on 23 followed by Dave Corlett and Rob Marshall on 22.

After a short break the second round got under way with the conditions getting even more windy making the targets duck and dive. This didn’t seem to bother James Simpson as he recorded the only straight on the day to finish in joint first place overall and first in A class with Paul Mihailovits on 46 points, third place in A class went to John Moore on 44. Junior Zac Bellhouse was third overall with 45 points which also took C class. We had a three way tie for second place in C class between Mark Hepworth, Rob Marshall and Rob Corlett on 39 points. Mike Walker was first in B class with 40 points with Steven Rand second on 30 points.

The overall league positions have yet to be decided as we have ties in A and C class’s which will be resolved next week.
