Steve Hodges and Benn Chamberlain shot 31s but at the end 206 turned out to be their lowest score this season.

Home Guard 216 MEB 206. MEB were able to field eight shooters but between them there were some loose shots which kept individual scores lower than they hoped.

Their best shooter was Andy Morris with 34.
