Shooting Round-Up

Fri, 19 Jun 2015


Ben Kelly – a class act on Monday evening

                Once again, the start of the evenings matches had to be delayed due to the fabulous sunshine and the format for the evening was slightly different when round 1 of the Jamaica Trophy was an addition to the regular three competitions. Ben Kelly and Andy Potter produced the highest (equal) gun scores in both the scratch matches but the win in both went Kelly’s way on countback. Kelly also posted the only 100 of the evening. The results of the Osborn Carpets Scratch match were the first to be posted and there was a variety of scores from the nineteen entrants with Kelly and Potter in pole position and Island Games competitor, Tracey Skelton recording 586, just a point behind the leaders. Skelton has had a rather torrid time in preparation for Jersey with a new shooting jacket and various pieces of equipment, but Monday’s result appears proved that the changes have been very significant and worthwhile.  It is pleasing to see that nine of the field of nineteen shot in excess of 580, a terrific result for the club.
