Terrific scores on Monday evening at Sinclair
Round 4 of the Osborn Carpets first 600 Scratch match on Monday evening produced some excellent results for several of the Island’s top shooters. Ben Kelly, back on the Island for the summer from Edinburgh University, managed to make the firing line having missed the first 3 rounds of the weekly competitions and almost won the match being beaten by 1 point by Mike Duncalf. Duncalf, Kelly and Harry Creevy all posted 100’s in the match – both Creevy and Kelly produced double 100’s. Just 10 points separated the top 7 of the 20 shooters who entered and this could well be down to the excellent weather conditions. Although very cold and overcast, the wind was practically non-existent giving all 20 firing point’s identical conditions. Full results were:-
1 – Mike Duncalf 98, 98, 96, 99, 99, 100 = 590 x 600
2 – Ben Kelly 97, 97, 97, 100, 100, 98 = 589

Sam Jones wins his first Empire Garage Tynwald Shield Handicap medal
In the Empire Garage Tynwald Shield Handicap, teenager Sam Jones managed to win this week’s medal from two other teenagers, Matthew Roosen by 4 points and Illiam Christian just a point further in arrears. I am guessing that the club’s competition secretary will be keeping his eye on some of these handicaps. Having said that, Jones has only been shooting 50 metres competitively for four weeks and I know he will relish in the fact that he may get a reduced handicap – he is a determined youngster. Full results were:-
1 – Sam Jones 556 + 60 = 616
2 – Matthew Roosen 566 + 46 = 612
3 – Illiam Christian 573 + 38 = 611
4 – Tony Kneale 573 + 38 = 611
5 – Christian Eaton (J) 551 + 60 = 611
6 – Steve Callus 565 + 45 = 610
7 – Patrick Cubbon (J) 550 + 60 = 610
8 – Bill Jones 576 + 32 = 608
9 – Andy Traynor 579 + 28 = 607
10 – Mike Clague 582 + 25 = 607
11 – Nick Brown 576 + 31 = 607
12 – Tracey Skelton 583 + 24 = 607
13 – Ben Kelly 589 + 16 = 605
14 – John Wood 582 + 22 = 604
15 – Mike Duncalf 590 + 14 = 604
16 – Tom Lord 576 + 28 = 604
17 – Richard Arthur 580 + 22 = 602
18 – Suzanne McKnight 567 + 34 = 601
19 – Harry Creevy 588 + 10 = 598
20 – Ashley Gardner 571 + 23 = 594
Christian claims victory in the Sadler Junior Championship round 4
A couple more juniors entered the Sadler match this week and the win went to Illiam Christian by 4 points and that included a 90 in his middle series. As I have said previously, this competition will become very competitive once the school examinations have passed. Full results were:-
1 – Illiam Christian 98, 90, 99 = 287 x 300
2 – Matthew Roosen 94, 96, 93 = 283
3 – Patrick Cubbon 96, 91, 88 = 275
4 – Christian Eaton 95, 92, 88 = 275
5 – Sam Jones 90, 93, 89 = 272
