Michael Duncalf shot the highest gun score in the IoMSC September Handicap but the overall win went to sixteen year old Matthew Roosen by a slim margin of 3.1 points. Another teenager, Sam Jones claimed third positon very close on the heels of Duncalf. A rather low entry of just eleven and new handicaps gave a new dimension to the competition. Overall, the posted gun scores were on the low side but once handicaps had been added, the results were much closer.
