Shooting: Bellhouse impresses during wintry league round

Twelve brave the conditions at Meary Veg for third winter series phase

Report by Peter Kelly:

Twelve hardy souls braved the snowy conditions to compete in the third round of the CU PLAS Winter Series DTL league, which was also shot on a new trap just installed the day before, many thanks to Will, Brian, Jeff and Zac for doing this.

The leader after the first round was junior, Zac Bellhouse with a 25 straight only dropping one point for a perfect round; in second place on 24/71 was Steven Craine with son Callum in third place on 23/68. 

The leading B class shooter was Cobus Van de Berg on 23/64 with Mark Hepworth leading C class with 17/48 . 

It was good to see a junior lady shooting in Lilly Howland who scored 17/48.

After a short break to tweak the trap, the second round got under way and at the end, Mark Hepworth was the leading C class shooter with 35/101.

In B class, Brian Faragher was second with 41/118 with Cobus Van de berg taking B class with 46/134.

Steven Craine was third in A class on 47/137 with son Callum in second place on 47/140 but taking A class and high gun on the day was Zac Bellhouse with a 50 straight for 148 points.
