LINCOLNSHIRE DTL CHAMPIONSHIP

HELD AT THE PRIORY CLAY TARGET CENTRE

ON SUNDAY 16TH AUGUST

 

L-R:  Aaron Heading (AA), Calum Willey (B), Georgina Barratt (Ladies champion), Nick Day (Lincolnshire champion and High Gun), David Campion (Veterans champion)

 

For those who are fed up of hearing about the weather all we can say is that for this day it was dry but the low scores from those who you would normally expect to be in the 290's tells you that conditions were not conducive to big scores.  Top scorers of the day overall and for Lincolnshire were Nick Day and Aaron Heading both tied on 285.  The ensuing shoot off was quite a nail biting affair as it is not every day that you line up for a shoot off against an Olympic champion (albeit not in this discipline) but Nick kept his nerve to finish just two halves down to take the title.

Georgina Barratt can now add DTL to her burgeoning number of trophies as her score of 93/266 gave her her 4th ladies title this year.  Hopefully she has a big mantlepiece because it certainly must be buckling under the strain this year.  Rosie Parkinson gave her a good run for her money but the wind on the day saw an unprecedented number of second barrels from everybody so for this year it was not to be but she has the consolation of winning C class.

David Campion and Calum Willey only popped out for a bottle of milk and decided to call in for a shoot.  David walked away with the veterans title on 95/277 and Calum picked up B class with 94/276.  Not a bad Sunday's work eh!

Thanks as always to Aaron and Natasha and all the team at The Priory.  We are always assured of a warm welcome and they certainly did not disappoint.

Thanks to all those who so generously donated raffle prizes and then subscribed.  We raised £150 on the raffle which the committee will put to good use.

The Lincolnshire DTL teams were selected from this event, teams to be announced shortly.
