Hot-shot Jackie is the Lady of Mann

Wed, 01 Feb 2017


Young Port St Mary shooter Jackie Gardner emerged victorious in the Lady of Mann handicap competition. Staged at Kirk Michael Rifle Club, the five competitors were: Perryn Watson, Sharon Drysdale, Sue Keown, Shirley Caley and Jackie.

There were some intriguing incidents - Sharon's buttplate came loose/fell apart after the sighters on the first card. Perryn Watson supplied a screwdriver and Derek Kermode fixed the butt plate only to bang his head on the rafter when standing up afterwards. Not the first person to do this (the author included) and almost certainly not the last.

Jackie Gardner won though even when she ran out of ammo on the second card as Perryn graciously gave her some. Jackie later quipped that it had been worth dragging her driver Derek out for.

Junior showtime for Island's youngsters in NSRA event

 

You've got to be in it to win it, as they say, and the Isle of Man Rifle Association's Junior Inter-County team beat Oxfordshire by 388 points to 193 in Division 2. Christian Eaton scored a 100 to lead the way. Oxfordshire had two shooters who failed to submit cards and so the result was a foregone conclusion but well done nonetheless.

Scores: Christian Eaton 100, Matthew Roosen 97, Sam Jones  96, Alex Trafford 95.

ISLE OF MAN WINTER INDOOR LEAGUE

 

IoMSC Douglas beat Laxey

It was a close-run thing at St John's but IoMSC Douglas edged out visitors Laxey thanks to very consistent scores from the home side - four 98s in total.

Sulby see off  Kirk Michael

 

A howling gale and trees down didn't stop Kirk Michael travelling to Sulby but the battle against the elements was the only thing the visitors won as Mark Cain led the way to victory with a 98. For the visitors, Tom Lord, showing no ill-effects from his last outing after his seven-month lay-off, scored 94 again while Kevin Quinn was their top  gun with 96. Perryn Watson will have been irritated by her 94, well below her average this season and Suzanne McKnight's ongoing injury problems meant she could only manage an 89.
