We've shot round 3 of the NDC, this time against Eastern Force (a combined team featuring Wairarapa, Southern Hawkes Bay and Hawkes Bay). We managed wins in the Open and Juniors but didn't take out the Composite. Bit hard to get all 3 against such strong competition!
Mark Baines' 95.5 had us asking if we could have Number 1 Baines (Bex) back in the team, but he pulled it back with a 200.10 for a bonus point. Congrats also to Hester du Plessis for her 100.5 in the Juniors, getting us another bonus point.
On the other side, huge congratulations 🎊 to Craig Ireland from Wairarapa who shot the first 200.20 we can remember on these targets - woohoo!

Results are in for the Hastings Open. In the interests of getting some of our weekend back, there is no final today.

EDIT: have added the scoeres from the final.
Here's the results from the Hawkes Bay Open, shot in Hastings today.
Three Wellington Smallbore Rifle Association shooters made the trip north. Anaci du Plessis took advantage of Hester doing the Relay for Life today by leaving the kids at home and nipping up north for a weekend shooting, with Deon accompanying. She shot 291.15 to take 2nd place in a slim B grade match
Meredith Ackrill and Edwin Bode also took the weekend away, with Meredith having better luck behind the rifle than Edwin on Saturday. Meredith at least made it into the final 10.
Huge congrats to Teddy Lange (not Wellington) for shooting a PB to win the final. Well done Teddy!
Good luck everyone for the Hastings Open tomorrow.

We had a good night today shooting the first of six rounds of Interclub.
The C graders were first up, with a very junior Brooklyn team being edged out by Wellington Central, 372.7 to 375.6.
The B graders were up next which saw Wellington Central again beating Brooklyn, 384.14 to 378.11. Ngaio Rifle Club had a bye this week.
The Open graders rounded out the evening, with two matches - South Wellington Smallbore Rifle Club beat Ngaio by five inners, and Brooklyn got its revenge with a 10 point win against Wellington Central.
Congrats to Max Parsons from Ngaio who shot his first 100 as part of his first ever 20! Congrats 👏 Max!

Results are in from the Poroutawhao Open, shot yesterday and today.
In the D grade Max Parsons (Ngaio) came first. He then tried his luck with a re-entry in C grade, shot 1 inner less and came 1st on countback!
In the B Anaci du Plessis came 1st.
Anna Shum Pearce (South Wellington) shot well in A grade to come 3rd.
The usual suspects fought it out in Master grade, with Pippa Taylor (South Wellington) in second place on 298.22, Bex Baines (Brooklyn) in 3rd on 298.18 and Rob Taylor (South Wellington) in 4th with 298.14 (bit light on the inners there Rob!). Those three shot in the final along with Anna SP and Mark Baines (Brooklyn), which was taken out by The Other R Taylor (Ryan Taylor) on aggregate.

Result are in for round 2 of the NDC and Wellington Smallbore Rifle Association had a clean sweep against Waikato. Congrats to Bex Baines for her 200.16 that got us a bonus point, and Pippa Taylor for her 100.6 and 100.3 for two bonus points. All up we've taken away 16 points from this round.
Honourable mention to Mark Baines who shot a 100.1 on his way to 298.13

Shooting round 2 of the NDC tonight and we're against the Waikato Thoroughbreds. May the best team win (as long as it is Wellington!).
Thankfully we haven't repeated last year's trick of having half the team pick up a bug at Teams of Ten and call out sick for NDC the following week.
