League

Week 5

 

 

he bells were ringing last Thursday when 7 shooters scored possibles (35points). In the match between Wilmcote and Avenue A, Jamie Clarke hit seven bulls for the fourth time in five weeks. Not surprisingly he tops the individual shooting charts by hitting 34 bulls out of 35 in his matches. Brothers Andrew and Paul Clingan also shot possibles. Andrew’s first since he returned to bell target shooting two years ago and Paul’s third in three weeks. Paul Lowe, shooting for Avenue got his second possible since he joined the team. Over at Avenue Sports and Social Club Andy Morris shot his second possible since returning to the League and his son Tom got his first career possible in Snitterfield’s match against Avenue B and at Binton, Andy Smith shot his first possible this season in Binton A’s match against the team from Clifford. Not since the League computerised its records in 2006 have there been so many possibles shot in a single evening and it is believed that the Clingan brothers and the Morris family have also set new records.

Wilmcote shot 236 points in their match against Avenue A, the highest team score so far this season which consolidated their position at the top of the League table with 10 points from 5 matches. Binton A are currently second with 8 points from 4 matches. They scored 222 points in their match against Clifford. Snitterfield’s win with 220 points against Avenue B are third in the league with 6 points from 4 matches. Avon also have 6 points from 4 matches after winning with 212 points their match against MEB but their team average is lower than Snitterfield’s. Avenue A and Clifford both have 3 points. Binton B and Avenue B both have 2 points and MEB are yet to win a match.
