At the beginning of April, two teams of Gresham’s cadets travelled to Cambridge Gun Club for the National Clay Target Shooting Championships.

There were four separate competitions in the CCF category and Edgar A, Will N, Jack K and Alf S in the Gresham’s A Team, won the team gold medals in every single one of them – an astonishing success! This meant that they brought home the trophies for the ‘Down the Line’, ‘Sporting’ and ‘Inter-Services Skeet’ competitions, in addition to continuing the unbroken pedigree of Gresham’s victories in the ‘Flurry’ competition, with a clear margin of victory in this section of 10 clays from their nearest rivals.

Team Captain Will N won individual gold in the ‘Down the line’, with Jack K taking bronze. Alf S won individual gold in the ‘Sporting’ which was part of his unprecedented haul of six medals, including five golds in total.

Toby W, Alec A, Toby A and Max C in Gresham’s B Team also achieved success with bronze medal position in several of the CCF competitions, and Max C was awarded an individual bronze in the ‘Sporting’ section.

This was another outstanding performance at national sporting level for the clay target shooters.
