Smallbore Shooting
The National Secondary Schools Competition was held concurrently at multiple ranges around the country, so no one had home range advantage. Our team of David Murphy (292.12), Marshall Burn (279.06) and Thomas van Stipriaan. (281.05) came in 12th (852.23) out of 26 teams. David made the North Island team and subsequently shot his first 100, which is a fantastic personal result. The North Island thrashed the South Island team with a record score (1944.82 vs 1925.61).
David capped off a great event by being selected to the New Zealand Secondary School team which will compete against Britain (via postal match) and winning the trophy for Top Boy (taking this out by just 3 inners).
