Only sixteen entries for this prestigious event held at Southend gun club, the weather was perfect with little wind and plenty of sunshine, the scores reflected the good conditions everybody enjoyed the day.

Tom Skinner from Surrey shot very well as he entered the competition unregistered in Olympic Skeet his nerve held shooting against regular OSK shooters some of which have represented England & GB at National and World cup level, Tom eventually finished with a creditable 92/100 equal to Andrew Bond, therefore a shoot off for Champion was needed, with Andrew dropping the first target allowing Tom to take the Championship also Junior Championship, Sarah Gray from Kent was Ladies Champion with 83/100, and Jonathan Davidson from Gtr London Veteran Champion with 89/100
