Essex Olympic Trap Championships 2020

The Essex Olympic Trap Championship was held at Nuthampstead on 23rd February 2020.

Champion - J Hudson - 82 (after shoot off)

Veteran/Super Veteran - D Henshaw - 82

Ladies - P Dorrington - 64

Juniors - C Thompson - 78

The Essex Olympic Trap Championship was held at Nuthampstead Shooting Ground on Sunday 23rd February 2020. The event was held in conjunction with the Hertfordshire OT Championship.

The weather looked set to be a repeat of the gales endured during the recent Essex ABT Championship. However there was a slight difference this time, as it was freezing cold as well, and the sudden downpour of rain instantly soaked anyone caught out in it.

D.Henshaw and J.Hudson equalled on 82 which called for a sudden-death shoot-off. D.Henshaw was first to shoot and missed his target. J.Hudson managed to hit his, and therefore took the Champion's Trophy. David Henshaw was not left empty handed, as he now took the Vet's Trophy.

Pam Dorrington won the Ladies Trophy with 64, whilst Callum Thompson took the Junior's Trophy with 78.

Thanks are due once again to Nicky & Ed Barker for another faultlessly run competition on their excellent layouts.
