Essex OT Championship Sunday 25th February 2024

The Essex Olympic Trap Championship was held at Nuthampstead Shooting Ground on Sunday 25th February 2024. This was held in conjunction with the Cambs, Herts and Gtr. London County Championships, resulting in a large turnout.

The early squads found themselves struggling to see the targets due to mist, whilst later the cold breeze got up and there was a mix of drizzle and occasional sunshine.

Ian Lockwood emerged the Essex Champion on 79, whilst Peter Lunn scored 78 to take the Veteran trophy. Emma Ralph took the Ladies trophy with 73 and Eddie Lockwood scored 65 to win the Junior trophy.

Thanks are due to Nicky & Ed Barker of Nuthampstead Shooting Ground for staging this event on their superb Trap layouts.
