edition of Target Shooter but brief details from
the challenging 9 stage match are as follows.
Again we saw our Serbian friends doing well.
ESC09 Modified Champion Igor Jankovic
switched to Standard Auto, but the limited
rounds in his shotgun didn’t hold him back to
allow him to take first place. Top Senior was
Barry Sullivan, with Vanessa Duffy top Lady.
Winner of Modified was Branislav Raketic,
he was also top Senior with Les Bailey
winning the Super Senior title. Top Open
shooter was Nick Hockley. Iain Guy was
winner in the Standard Manual division, with
George Granycome picking up the top Senior
prize. This match completes the UKPSA PSG
Championships. Best three scores from all four
Championship rounds will determine this year’s
Champions. The results are being crunched
and will be announced on the Forum. Our
