LINCOLNSHIRE ENGLISH SPORTING CHAMPIONSHIP

HELD AT

EAST OF ENGLAND SHOOTING GROUND

ON SUNDAY, 24th AUGUST 2025

 

Kallum Burrell

2025 Lincolnshire sporting champion

 

What better way to spending a Bank Holiday Sunday than shooting the Lincolnshire Sporting Championship.  Certainly, this was the opinion of 71 Lincolnshire shooters who made up 50% of the entries for this event.  The weather pattern continued to oblige so when you combine this with the excellent course set by John Lee it was all set for a very enjoyable days shooting.

For the last 6 or 7 years the name Kallum Burrell has appeared on several of our sporting trophies.  In 2023 he won this event outright whilst still a junior so it is perhaps no surprise that, although no longer a junior, he has once again taken this title with a superb score of 91.  Just one shot back was Paul Tunnard who picked up the Veteran title and A class.  Also on the same score was Trevor Hawkins, taking the AA class award.

A very solid score of 86 from Stewart Chester earned him B class and C class went to Trevor Dodge on 73.  The junior title went to Henry Sardeson with a very creditable 82.  Ella Bennett has been showing improving form over the last few years and is never very far from the top of the ladies leaderboard so it is good to see her pick up her first Lincolnshire title on a score of 78.  We are also pleased to welcome another young lady who has picked up her first Lincolnshire award as Charlotte Branton took the special award “Paul Wilkinson Champion of Champions” award for Colts on a score of 61.

Congratulations to all our winners.  Thank you, as always to John Lee for setting a very enjoyable round and to Becky, Simon and all the referees for making this an exceptional day’s shooting. 

The Lincolnshire team will be selected from this event.  The teams will be published shortly.
