Geoff Dale took the Co Down DTL championship title at Banbridge Gun Club at the end of August, but it was William Armstrong who took high gun on the day, beating Geoff’s score of 100/297.
The grounds were looking well for the 50 shooters who came to compete over 100 DTL, a testament to much hard work. Conditions were good for shooting after a week of horrific wind and rain. The first top score of the day came from County Down’s Geoff Dale posting his 100/297 after losing two barrels on his final line. Then the in-form William Armstrong went one better shooting 100/298.
The Banbridge Club Cup was up for grabs, with scores over the middle 50 targets counted for this. Only two shooters finished with a flawless middle fifty, David McBride and William Armstrong. The pair went head-to-head for the silverware and McBride took the win.
