That's our last rep match for the year done and dusted - our C graders beat Hutt Valley tonight at the Keene Range.
At the same time our Interclub winners shot against the Hutt Valley Interclub winners. Brooklyn beat Petone Central in the Open, Ngaio R***e Club beat Lower Hutt in the B and Wellington Central beat Petone Central in the C grade.
A good night all round for Wellington. Lots of 100s shot, and lots of good scores from our C graders.

Results are in for the Osmond Shield at the Wright Cup. These are the premier Wellington Smallbore R***e Association inter-club matches. Only Brooklyn and Wellington Central were able to field teams this year.
Osmond Shield is shot by 8 person teams, 4 of which must be B grade or below.
Wright Cup is shot by teams of 5 or 6 C and D graders. The top 5 scores count. All shooters shoot in seeded order.
In the Osmond Shield the lead changed several times during the match. Brooklyn came out victorious.
The Wright Cup was a clearer win for Brooklyn. The Brooklyn juniors shot superbly, shooting 476.18, only one point below the record. They're already planning how they'll get the record next year.
Thanks to Uncle Paul, Rob T and Anaci du Plessis who ran the match.
