Inter-Secondary Schools Inter-Island Smallbore Shooting match in Rangiora


In the first weekend of the holidays, the PNGHS smallbore shooting team travelled down to Rangiora for the Inter-Secondary Schools Inter-Island competition.

The team, of Shaun Jeffrey, Lachie McNair and David Murphy, achieved an unexpected 3rd place result in the Inter-Secondary School match. This was a great result considering this is just David’s first year shooting smallbore.

All three members of the team were selected to the North Island Representative team for the Inter-Island match (which unfortunately the South Island team won).

Shaun was also selected for the NZ Representative Team (which shot in a postal match against Great Britain but we have to wait for the results of that match for Great Britain to shoot early next year, at the end of their season).

With his consistently good shooting, Shaun kept his nerve throughout the competition and won the trophy for Top Boy - a great individual result.
