The leading B class shooter was Calum Craine on 131, with David Morgan leading C class on 101.

The final discipline was pro sporting which was shot in reverse order and, once it was all completed, it produced the following results.

Third in C class went to Les Devlin on 137, with David Morgan taking second place on 140 but winning the class with 143 points was Brian Kelly.

Ted Kermeen was third in B class on 181 with Rob Corlett taking second on 183, but first in this class with 185 went to Calum Craine.

In A class Stan Cross was third on 173, with Peter Kelly taking second on 181 and in first place with 188 was last year's winner Mike Walker.

But the star of the show was John Moore who even hit three rabbits, took the high gun prize and also the Richard Holt High Gun Cup by one point with a score of 189.

All the prizes were presented at the end of the shoot along with all the overall league prizes. All unclaimed awards can be collected at the clubhouse before the beginning of the summer season.
