LINCOLNSHIRE ALL ROUND CHAMPIONSHIP

HELD AT

NOTTINGHAM & DISTRICT GUN CLUB

Billy Cook - Lincolnshire All Round Champion

Everybody loves an All Round.  It is a chance to mix it up a bit with an unfamiliar discipline and, with no expectations, people are often surprised at just how well they do and this year produced some surprising results from some surprising people.

It sometimes seems that sporting shooters can shoot any discipline and certainly this year's All Round Champion proved the point as Billy Cook, whose main discipline is sporting, soon got to grips with the trap disciplines to put in an impressive 93 to take the title for the first time but probably not for the last.  Jack Wilkinson came at this from the reverse angle.  Jack is a superb trap shooter, who fairly recently put in 100 straigt at ABT and qualified for the England ABT team so is no slouch when it comes to trap disciplines but, according to his Dad, his skeet shooting leaves a lot to be desired.  Well, it couldn't have been too bad as a score of 90 was enough to give him a win in A Class.  Sandwiched in between these two was seasoned campaigner, Pete Atkin, who was in familiar territory as you would indeed describe Pete as an All Rounder so no surprise when his score of 91 appeared on the board earning him the AA award.  Some good shooting from Richard Hall and John Toombs, both on 82 resulted in a shoot off for B Class.  Unfortunately for John the discipline drawn from the hat for the tie was his least favourite discipline, ABT, so Richard was able to claim the prize.  Gary Boardman took C Class on 78.

Richard Hall - B Class

Top veteran and last year's All Round champion was Graham Elkington on 86 closely followed by Marvin Houghton on 83.

Georgina Barratt once again claimed the Ladies title with a score of 74 closely followed by Jackie Houghton on 71.
