Amber Hill

 

Bracknell clay pigeon shooter Amber Hill has made history by becoming the youngest girl ever to make selection for the England senior team.

The 13-year-old from Binfield held her nerve to defeat Surrey markswoman Katy Poulsom in a sudden death shoot-out during a recent national team qualifying event in Dartford.

And now Amber will join the senior  team of 10 men, three veterans and two other ladies when they travel to Scotland for a Home International later this summer.

Having won a host of competitions since taking up the sport little more than two years ago, Amber put herself in the running for selection for the senior England team.

After a qualifying event in Northampton in early May, where competitors were required to shoot 200 targets over a two-day competition, Amber was lying fifth in the team-selection standings.

The pressure was therefore on for the latest meeting at Dartford, knowing only a third-place finish or above would guarantee selection.

After day one, Amber had dropped down to seventh in the pecking order with a 91-per-cent success rate, but on day two, she upped her game, hitting 98 out of 100 targets to move up to joint third, alongside Poulsom.

Facing a tense shoot-out in front of more than 100 spectators, Amber kept her nerve hitting 25 out of 25 targets.

However, Katy Poulsom also kept her cool, matching her young opponent shot for shot, meaning a sudden death shoot-off was required to separate the pair.

Each were required to face two clays at a time, with the shooter who hits the most earning selection for the England team.

Amber hit one of her first two, but as Katy Poulsom missed both hers, the Binfield youngster became the youngest girl to ever make the national team.
