Sportrap 11^th July

The penultimate county championship of the season was held at Cockett Farm in glorious weather.  With a full entry, the first squads set off at 1000, the first 2 layouts shooting fairly steadily although a slow, close rabbit lead to some confused looking faces.  Layout 3 featured a long midi which tested the best and layout 4 was packed with tricky speeds and angles although nothing of any real distance.  The high gun of the day (92) was posted early on by Phil Gray who has been shooting exceptionally well of late - unfortunately he's not Nottinghamshire!  Shooting on the same squad as Phil - Catherine Smalley took the ladies title with an impressive 82. 

Pat Dickman took both the overall County championship and the Veterans title with an impressive score of 85
