2018 Skeet Team Selection

It was a grey day that greeted us to clacton gun club for our second Essex skeet team selection shoot, but thankfully the rain quickly cleared. Targets were superb as always at this lovely ground - many thanks to Andy Riva for hosting our event. Our teams are looking very strong this year but a lack of lady shots is a small concern at the moment.  

 

Scores were as follows: 

    Alex Garcia 100

    Glen Defreitas 99

    David Pummell 97

    Ray Simmons 97

    Tony Myhill 97

A great turnout for this event. Our next 2 events are back to back - the Essex skeet championship at Clacton Gun Club on Sat 23rd of June, and our final skeet selection shoot at Southend Gun Club on Sunday 24th of June. Phone Glen on 07905740552 to book for Southend Gun Club please. 

 

 

Sunday, 15th April saw the first of 2018's skeet team selection shoot held at Dartford SG. The weather was almost perfect for most of the day, but the wind got up a bit for the last squads out. This may have encouraged some of the very good scores returned by the team hopefuls, as follows:

 

Glen defreitas 99

David Pummell 98

Nigel Cullinane 98 

Dave Hendon 97 

Ray Simmons 97 

Peter stanton hope 95 

Richard Boutcher 95 

Diane boutcher 93 

Bob English 92 

Katie Durrant 91 

Tony Mihill 91 

Christopher Theobald 89 

Tom mucluskey 89 

Tim hayday 89 

Fred Quinton 87

Mike pickett 86

Adam Hart 83 

 

Special mentions for Nigel Cullinane on his first 50 straight and a superb 98, David Pummell so close to a 100 straight, Katie Durrant on her highest skeet score so far of 91 and Mike Pickett on his first registered 25 straight. Interest in this discipline seems to be on the rise again after a couple of years and that bodes well for the team in the inter-county tournaments later this year.

 

Thanks to Kelly Hockey, Johnny Walker and the team for looking after us on the day.
