South West Win Triangular
F Class Competition to Metro
The 2014 Triangular Teams shoot took place at the Yarloop Range in mild weather, with light winds and overcast condition for the whole of the shoot. Luckily, the forecast rain held off, and shooters were able to finish the day without having either themselves or their gear getting wet.
In the TR section of the contest between the South West DRA, Metropolitan DRA and host Murray DRA, each Association was able to field the mandatory team of ten shooters to shoot for the Triangular Match, while the South West fielded the only 5 man team in the John Bradshaw Shield match, thus winning this section by default. Ian Rhodes top scored for his team with 137.4
The Triangular was won by the South West by 8 points. This was despite having trailed the Murray team by 6 points after the 300m. Scores were pretty much levelled after the 600m, with the South West closing the gap leaving Murray with a one point lead. Murray's 480 points at the 800m fell short of the South West's 489, giving the South West the Triangular honours for 2014.
South West's top scorer was Rob Cuthbert, with 150.15, counting out team mate Mick Forsberg who finished on the same score. The top Murray shooter was Neil Hughes on 148.17, also counting out fellow Murray shooter Roger Brown while Metropolitan's top scorer on the day was Neil Townsend, on 146.13.
The F Class competition saw a team of five from the South West pitted against two five man teams from the Metropolitan DRA. Competition was tight throughout, with Metro No1 taking honours at the 300m, Metro No 2 gaining the advantage at the 600m and again at the 800m, although in this case by only one point from South West.
In the final tally, the F Class match went to Metro No 2 on 877.47 from South West with 870.62 followed by Metro No 1 on 863.57. Top individual scorers were Gerry Doney with 179.13 for Metro No 2, 178.13 to Linda Shehan of South West and 176.13 to Tony Whittemore from Metro No 1.
