Derbyshire RA Challenge Match on 30 June 2018

The match was held at Thorpe Cloud on a very hot, dry day with a blustery wind. The captains agreed to fire 3 practice shots, 2 convertible sighters and 12 to count at each distance. It was agreed that Derbyshire would nominate 2 of their 8 firers and take the best 2 other scores, to compete against LRRFC’s team of 4.

In the event, LRRFC came out 30 points ahead, as you will see from the attached result sheet, so we now have our name on the trophy. Had DRA taken their 4 best scores, LRRFC would still have won by 19 points, so it was an emphatic victory. Thank you DRA for a most enjoyable day.

I look forward to next year and hope that a large LRRFC team will want to make the journey north.
