LINCOLNSHIRE UNIVERSAL TRENCH CHAMPIONSHIP

HELD AT BEVERLEY & EAST YORKSHIRE CLAY SHOOTING GROUND

ON SUNDAY 6TH APRIL

 

JOHN WINN,  LINCOLNSHIRE UT CHAMPION 2025

(trophies presented by Denis Willey of Beverley & East Yorkshire Clay Shooting Ground).

 

Although this championship has been held a little earlier in the season than usual nevertheless we couldn't complain about the weather.  A nice sunny day meant highly visible targets but helped along by a fairly stiff breeze (as if the targets were not fast enough!).  There were some mixed results early on but at half way it looked as though Norman Eaton, the 2023 champion, starting with 2 scores of 23 was on course to pick up the trophy once again but as we all know things can go wrong all too quickly and a poor third round meant it was going to be an uphill struggle to beat last year's champion, John Winn.  John started with 2 scores of 22 but he doesn't seem to fluctuate like the rest of us and a further steady couple of 20's saw him top scorer once again beating Norman by just 3 targets.  The Lincolnshire UT trophy has been around since 1994 and is inscibed with the names of some of the best UT shooters in the land but during the last 21 years John has won this trophy 9 times - one of Lincolnshire's all time greats. 

Congratulations to John and thanks to Denis and all at Beverley & East Yorkshire Shooting Ground for a very well run event.
