With the weather as perfect as you could get for the start of the day and with all squads full we were in for some great shooting and it didn’t disappoint . Holmes Chapel Shooting Ground was looking at its best in the sunshine and the catering from breakfasts to home made cakes, which were hard to resist, as always was great and a credit to Jane and her helpers.

The day ran like clockwork and the squads were  always on time with Helen, scorers and helpers keeping it all ticking along with Dave and keeping the traps topped up through out the event.

Daniel price took the early running with a 99/295 only for Christopher Moule and Ian Roper to both put in a 100/298 and so to a shoot off not only for Area champion but also for bronze as Les Furber joined Daniel Price on a 295 late in the day. It was a tense affair as the sun kept shining and keeping spirits high. Daniel Price was victorious over Les Furber with a 25/72 and a 23/68 consecutively. On to the championship title where with some stunning shooting Ian Roper took the title with a fantastic 25/75 from Christopher Moule with a 24/72 not much room for error there.
