Thick fog greeted us as we crossed the Humber but within an hour that big yellow thing that we haven't seen for a very long time appeared so for the first time this year the jumpers came off and we basked in 20 degree temperatures.    Some sizzling scores matched the temperature as Robin Ley, fresh from his success at last weekend's skeet, kicked off his campaign with 25 straight single barrel and finished with 25 straight sporting so looked like a contender for his second title of the year but you can't keep a good man down and Graham Elkington demonstrated once again the exceptional ability which just 3 weeks ago earned him the veteran title at the English Open All Round.  Graham finished on 95 (24, 23, 24,24) so won both the Lincolnshire High Gun and the Veteran title.

Georgina Barratt is a woman on a mission this year as she too started with 25 straight single barrel and followed it with 21 ABT, 22 skeet, and 21 sporting.  This superb score gave Georgina her second Lincolnshire title of the year, having taken the ladies title at last weekend's skeet and also the B class award.

Always a man to watch is John Winn whose score of 92 matched that of Robin Ley.  Both are in AA but Robin had left the ground so John took the AA class award.  

Richard Thompson and Mick Colebrook completed the line up of winners.  Richard's score of 90 gave him the A class award and Mick's 85 gave him C class.

Well shot to all.  Lincolnshire championships are always a joy because the atmosphere is so friendly and this shoot was no exception.  A good day out shooting amongst friends, what more could you want.

Thanks as always to the team at East Yorkshire for their superb targets and well run event.
