Hampshire Clubman Classic League 2018
A great end to another exciting Clubman series with the final leg being held at Acorn Shooting Ground which provided an opportunity for many of us to shoot a new ground on neutral territory!
Well done to the Gosport & Lee Team for their winning top ten score of 611 ex 700 at the final and to David Bruce from Wallers Ash who was High Gun with 67 ex 70 with his handicap applied. There was a tie for Runner Up & 3rd place at this fixture between Atul Vijy (Fareham), Jodie Brown (Three Counties) and Richard Worthington (Gosport & Lee) all on 66 ex 70 with handicaps applied so a shoot off will decide this and any other ties at the Presentation Shoot at Wallers Ash on the 13th October.
So it's all over for another year and therefore I'm delighted to confirm the final standings in the series and the trophy positions (bar any shoot offs) from each fixture:
