2018 Southern England Olympic Skeet Championships
It was a bright and sunny day at Southend Gun Club on the 8th July 2018 where many of the best shooters in the South East turned up for the Southern England Skeet Championships. There were even some spectators that came along to enjoy some great shooting.
The first squad of the day at 10:00 posted some good scores so expectations were high for a tight competition, but the heat of the day seemed to take its toll as the day progressed. In the end the championship was contended between Nigel Barnes and Barry Dobbs, but it was Nigel, pictured below, that survived the heat the better of the two to take the title. Nigel's score also won him the Michael O'Donnell Memorial Trophy which was presented by Mick's partner Kay.
At 14 years of age and having only shot Olympic Skeet for eight months, Owen Lewis is one to look out for in the future having won the Colts title at this event. The Ladies Champion was Victoria Humphries.
High scores of the day were:
- Nigel Barnes (78) - Mens Champion
- Barry Dobbs (73) - Mens Runner-Up
- Simon Davidmann (69) - Mens 3rd place
- Victoria Humphries (77) - Ladies Champion
- Alison Nicol (68) - Ladies Runner-Up
- Owen Lewis (71) - Colts Champion
A big thank you to our referees on the day, Keith Murray, Sarah Daly, and Trevor Smith who did an excellent job.
Victoria Humphries, Ladies Champion
Nigel Barnes, Champion
Owen Lewis, Colts Champion

2015 Olympic Skeet Championships
Congratulations to Andy Bond (pictured below) who took this year's Olympic Skeet championship, held at the Southend Gun Club on the 17th May 2015.
The weather was very sunny with a gusty westerly wind which played havoc with high birds as they were being pushed into the ground, even so everybody enjoyed the day.
Unfortunately, due to a clash with a selection shoot on the same day, the turnout for the event was lower than normal but Andy's 82 ex 100 (18, 21, 22, 21) fought off challenges from Barry Dobbs' 80 (20, 18, 18, 24) and Dave Wilder's 68 (18, 17, 16, 17) to take the overall and veteran's titles.
Thanks to the Southend GC for laying on this event.

Only sixteen entries for this prestigious event held at Southend gun club, the weather was perfect with little wind and plenty of sunshine, the scores reflected the good conditions everybody enjoyed the day.
Tom Skinner from Surrey shot very well as he entered the competition unregistered in Olympic Skeet his nerve held shooting against regular OSK shooters some of which have represented England & GB at National and World cup level, Tom eventually finished with a creditable 92/100 equal to Andrew Bond, therefore a shoot off for Champion was needed. Andrew dropped the first target allowing Tom to take the Championship along with the Junior Championship. Sarah Gray from
