Andrew & Faulkner
Andrew & Faulkner - South Island
Each Association selects their open 10 team members and not more than two emergencies, Junior teams shall comprise five members and one emergency – this may be by shooting specific trials, using ranking lists, or whatever method suits them. The A & F shield teams event is the split into two divisions, Division 2 teams compete for the Lindsay Smith Memorial Trophy and they can also win the Andrew & Faulkner Shield. Junior teams compete for the Greenhough Trophy.
Each shooter will shoot one 20 shot match and one 10 shot match in this order, and with so many shooters competing these matches may be hours apart. A rolling total of team scores is kept, and the pressure and excitement builds as the teams can easily see how many points they need to catch up or to stay in front - this is part of the unique challenge of this type of match!
The event is hosted by different Associations each year and alternates each year North and South of the Waitaki River, and may be held either in a regular range if there is one large enough available, or in a temporary range such as a hall. Wherever they are held there is ample time for socialising, checking out each others' gear, and making purchases at the trade stalls. Presentations at the range will conclude the event.
The Andrew & Faulkner (South Island) and Teams of Ten (North Island) matches are the Islands' premier Indoor Associaton matches. Venues vary each year and teams are selected by each Association, with the Andrew & Faulkner match being shot annually in July and the Teams of Ten match in May. The winning South Island and North Island Association teams then compete against each other for the Candyman Cup later in the year. (For Teams of Ten information, go to the INDOOR/TEAMS OF TEN page)
