Sussex Clear Winners of SE Regional FITASC Inter-counties
The South East regional inter-counties held at Southdown on the weekend of the 9th September was attended by seven full teams and including Greater London, Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Essex and Hertfordshire.
The targets as usual were testing but fair with something for everyone, course setter Shaun Peckham, put on two layouts in areas not shot in recent years, including a layout on the hill behind the named the sunflower meadow. This was aptly named and a pleasure to shoot in the pleasantly warm summer sun with a range of interesting targets from the 13 traps, new system.
Sussex stormed the championship with a clear win and a team score of 420, which was 7 targets clear of the joint second place teams of Surrey and Bucks with 415. The average team score was 84.4 with a high gun being claimed by George Digweed (95), the rest of the team were not far behind with Martin Goldie (85), Tom Bury (83), Gary Robbins (80) and Jeff Dix (79).
So all in all a great result for the County and a confidence boost for the upcoming Sussex Championship on the weekend of the 12th October, congratulations to the Sussex FITASC Team.
