Day One of the 2018 Inter-Secondary Schools Inter-Island match in Rangiora saw the school team placings swap a number of times during the 3 rounds shot, and it was great to see such close competition.
Congratulations to the 2018 winners, Ashburton College, with a total score of 877.42. Feilding High School came in second with 873.27, with Palmerston North Boys’ High School taking third place on 860.22.
Island teams were selected from this School Teams shoot, with the top 10 from each island going through, plus the next 2 as emergencies.
These shooters then shot a further 2 rounds for the North Island vs South Island match - congratulations to the South for their resounding win.
Scores from the School team and Island team matches were then aggregated to select the 2018 New Zealand team. For this match (which will be shot on Day 2) the lowest two scores will be discarded as emergencies, putting the total from the other ten through to the postal match against the British Schools team.
