TSNZ National Championships
February 26th 2018Photos from the TSNZ Nationals Presentation Dinner are now on the Outdoor Nationals page.
Day 8 of the TSNZ National Championships was a day of extremes.
First up was the serious business of the International Matches – Wakefield, Slazenger, Drew, Women’s and Junior Teams all shot for their respective postal matches. There were some outstanding scores posted – well done to Martin Hunt had the top score for the day of 625.4, and to Sarah Reesby in the Drew Junior Team who shot a 593 (Integer Score, as is required by this UK match; the Decimal Score was 618.1). Results of these postal competitions will shared when they are available later in 2018.
The final match of the day (and of the Nationals) was the fun Association Teams shoot, which required a team of 3, with each shooter taking a turn at coaching/scoping for another shooter. With the total time being 1 hour 15 minutes including all sighters and change-overs there was no time to waste, and the crowd enjoyed loudly upping the pressure and barracking all the teams. Congratulations to Manawatu who won the Open section, and Southern Hawkes Bay who won the Graded match.
The presentation dinner and team photos held at the Awapuni Racecourse was a perfect way to finish off the week.
Thank you to Manawatu Association for such a well-run Nationals,
and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year
when North Canterbury host the event in Christchurch.
